Karim Benzema was delighted with his role in Real Madrid's win over Getafe.

Benzema was the star of the show during Real Madrid's win over Getafe thanks to the assist he provided Cristiano Ronaldo with for the opening goal.

The forward explained that piece of play: "The move was just football. I saw Cristiano, passed him the ball and he scored. He is the best player in the world and it is always better to be playing with him.

"This win was necessary following the knock-out tie against Atlético. Now we have a week to rest up and after that we'll have another must-win game. We tried to get things going in the first half but they didn't come off. Getafe played very well, all their players were behind the ball and we need space in order to score goals.

"Madrid is the best team, although we know that things are difficult for us now because our opponents close things up at the back against us. We have a lot of games ahead but we also have a great squad that can help us win everything."
