Ruud van Nistelrooy believes that Real Madrid are a lot closer to playing the kind of stylish football that they had set out to at the start of the season.

"We played very well tonight; we had great touch on ball, pressurised in attack and felt comfortable," said Van Nistelrooy.
"We were very lucky when we won here last year, but tonight's has been a quality victory.
"I think we are closer to grasping the style we wish to have. We had a sensational game today."
He himself has scored eight goals already this season, though three of them have come in Europe.
"Eight goals is rather good so far in the season," he opined.
"We are leaders in the League and the Champions League, but we have two difficult games ahead that we also want to win."
"Valencia are going through a difficult time, so before the match we thought about putting pressure on them and scoring early on."
"This has been our best game of the season so far. We will try to play this well against Sevilla."
