Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas said after the 3-0 victory over Getafe in the 19th round of the Spanish league that it was very important to achieve such a result after being eliminated from the Spanish Cup.
“We had a great first part of the season and I think it was important to win after being eliminated from the Cup. We earned 3 very important points. The team played well. We still had a chance to take the lead in the first half, but Getafe played very carefully and we tried hard to win.
Unfortunately we were knocked out of the Copa del Rey, but there are no excuses because we had to go out and win. When the team resumes its winning streak, it will play better and more confidently,” AS quotes Casillas as saying.
Let’s remind that in the 1/8 final round of the Spanish Cup, “Real” lost to “Atletico” with a score of 2:4 as a result of two games. In the Spanish Championship, the Madrid team leads the standings with 45 points, and will compete with “Schalke 04” in the 1/8 final round of the Champions League.
