Pedro’s second half goal sealed the win at the Bernabeu, but the young Spaniard was quick to praise the provider – Xavi – “the pass was really good and all I had to do was control it and beat the keeper”.

Pedro explained: “I enjoyed the game –especially the goal. We played our game as we always try to. I just try and bring whatever I can to the team and if that means goals then even better. There’s still plenty of games and plenty of points up for grabs and Madrid will keep on fighting till the end because it’s the only competition they are left in, but so will we”.

Below are some of the other players’ post match comments:

Puyol:

“It was a tough game against a great team and they are really important points”.

“Now we have to make sure we don’t slip up, because there’s a long way to go and this isn’t over yet”.

“Guardiola looks to do the best for the team and the result showed that he got it right. He really planned this game well”.

“We are very happy and we know that if we maintain this level of intensity we won’t lose many games”.

“We went out looking for a goal and we deserved the three points”.

“Everybody did a good job and now we are going to celebrate that and then focus on the next game – there’s still a long way to go and we can’t relax”.

“It’s a tough place to come to and we are all aware of what we have achieved here. We are back at the top and let’s try and stay there”.

“We have our own style – we always come out to win and to pressure the other team. That’s what’s brought us success and we will keep playing like that”.

“I’m happy for Milito. He deserves it because he’s worked very hard and been through a bad time”.

Piqué:

“Two wins here is just phenomenal. I’m really proud to be a part of this team”.

“This is the way we have to continue if we want to win more titles”.

“It was a quieter game than we’d expected. When we were two up, they really didn’t pressure us too much”.

“Víctor had a great game and showed that he could still make it to South Africa”.

“We’re on the right track, that was an important step forward, but things can change in football and we still have to work hard”.

Alves:

“We happy about the psychological blow this will be to our opponents”.

“It was a difficult game and again we worked hard to win it”.

“The boss wanted us to close down more, so that they couldn’t come out with the ball and that’s why we made the change”.

“We are all here to help the team and I just did the best I could - I’m happy for the team”.

“The fans are really happy and they should enjoy this - it’s a present for them as they are always behind us”.

Valdés:

“Once again we showed our own style of play”.

“We tried to do what we did last season, following the manager’s philosophy and it turned out fine”.

“Alves is a very active player who gives us a lot of depth and playing him where we did today was a smart move from the boss”.

“Anybody who wins here is going to come away with their morale high, but in the end they are only three points and there are still a lot of tough games ahead”.
