Carlo Ancelotti once again highlighted the spirit of the team: "The spirit of the team is very good. Whoever puts on the Madrid shirt has to have that spirit, which allows us to believe until the last minute. Bellingham is having luck, but it has quality. That's very important. It seems like he's also lucky because this goal is similar to Getafe's, but it was there. It almost always comes from the second line and he is more ready than the others. The match was difficult but it was planned that way. It was a trap game and we had to be patient," said the coach.
For the Italian coach, "the absence of Vinícius is very important because he is one of the best strikers in the world and makes the difference, but he will be with us on Wednesday against Las Palmas and we will see if he makes it to Sunday. We also have Joselu, who did very well and was able to score.
Ancelotti appreciated the victory: "We fixed some things at half-time. The truth is simple. In the second half we played against a team that pressures less. In the second the energy drops a little and we have more space and opportunities. The good thing is that "Today we did not have to come back. It means that we were more attentive. With very good pressure after loss and from set pieces. They are very strong from set pieces and on the second ball," he stated.
Jude Bellingham spoke after the game: "We were patient. We knew we would have chances at the end, as long as we kept trying. It was a game about moving the ball and getting spaces. In the end we did it. We showed a good mentality and a good drive to give it victory for Madrid".
Regarding his goal, the Englishman commented: "It was not my most beautiful goal. I want to create chances for my team and be in the area to be a killer, which is what is going to give us the games, and I hope this streak continues." .
Captain Nacho also passed through the mixed zone with a message of satisfaction: we know the magic of this stadium. It was a game that should have been won a few minutes earlier, but the important thing was to get the three points. We played a very complete game, with many shots. We have been very comfortable, and we are very happy. As I say, we should have won the game earlier, but this is the Champions League and any team makes things difficult for you. In any match it is important to get three points. Jude was born to play for Real Madrid, we are lucky to have him with us and that he continues to score many goals."
Tchouaméni joked after the victory: "I'm going to talk to the mister for saying that Manchester City are favourites."
Rodrygo was another of the players who wanted to speak: "We are creating chances, but sometimes we lack a bit of luck during the game and that luck always comes at the end. I have a lot of finishes. Before I didn't have as many and I scored more and this season it is the other way around, but I'm calm as always because I know the goals are going to come. It's just a matter of time. That's always happened and now it's the same. It's about continuing to train, continuing to try."
