Real, who made one of their worst starts to a season in recent memory, are starting to resemble the ruthless side that swept to the Champions League and Liga titles last season. This was their fourth consecutive win and their third straight victory after falling behind, following their comeback victories over Paris St Germain and Real Betis. Ronaldo missed his first league game since Sept 20 as Zidane rotated his side. The game was originally scheduled for December, but had to be postponed due to Real's participation in the FIFA Club World Cup. "We've recovered third place and now our plan is to recover second place," Zidane added.
