Jerzy Dudek was rated best afield in Real Madrid's 2-2 draw at Real Zaragoza last night.

The Pole clinched a point for the champs with a courageous display that left Zaragoza's relegation-threatened players on their knees at the final whistle.

Afterwards, Dudek admitted: "I am pleased with my game, although it was a little strange for me to return to play after such a long time out. I do not know if this will be enough to convince Leo Beenhakker to take me to the Euros. It is very difficult because I have in front of me one of the best goalkeepers in the world, (Iker) Casillas, who has had a fantastic season.

"I have tried all season to maintain my best levels in training and that has served me in this game."
