Sevilla goalkeeper Bono spilled the ball into the net for an own goal and gifted Zinedine Zidane’s side a crucial 1-0 victory at Ramon Sanchez Pijuan stadium to end the losing run for the visitors and boost them up for Wednesday’s decisive match against the German club.
Speaking at his post-match press conference, Zidane said: “It is important for the next game. It was important for us to build, to play a good game again.
“It is important. The last few days have been difficult, but this is a team that has character, that always wants challenges and this victory is very important for what is to come.
“All the games are going to be important to us and we know that from time to time we have difficulties and we have to fix some things. When we fix it we can be very competitive like today.”
Real Madrid sit third in the La Liga table and are concentrating on their next match in the Champions League against Borussia Monchengladbach and they need to win the game to qualify for the last 16.
