Alonso: Winning the El Clasico is what Real Madrid urgently needs, and it is more important than three points

Hupu, October 27th: Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso was interviewed by Real Madrid TV and the mixed interview area after defeating Barcelona 2-1 in the national derby.

"I'm very happy with this victory, this game, the great effort we put in, the sacrifices we made and the great performance we had.

This victory was a much-needed victory for the team and the fans. I saw the Bernabeu shaking with everything that happened in the game. It's not just because of the three points, but it's more important."

What does he appreciate?

"Even in the second half, we had many moments in control of the game. The victory was short-lived; without the ball, we cooperated and worked together as a team; with the ball, we also knew how to fight."

The importance of this game

"Not just because of the victory and three points, but also because we believe this team can win important games."
