The hard-fought win took Zinedine Zidane's side on to 77 points after 34 games, seven clear of second-placed Barca who visit in-form Villarreal later on Sunday. "The only thing I was thinking about when taking the penalty was how important it was to get the three points." "Sergio is a specialist, he stays behind after training to practise penalties and his ability in taking them gives us a real boost," added the Real coach. Raul Garcia forced Real keeper Thibaut Courtois into a fine early save while Inaki Williams also proved a handful for the visitors. The difference is that their play was reviewed and ours was not."
