Real Madrid defender Rudiger pleased with victory at Getafe

Real Madrid defender Toni Rudiger was pleased with victory at Getafe.

Eder Milito scored the only goal on the day.

Rudiger said, “It was important that we produced a response after our draw against Osasuna. The team put a good shift in. We've kept a clean sheet and our focus turns to our next game.

“We scored early on and that gave us a lot of confidence, but we were also aware that they were capable of causing us problems with their long balls. We defended really well as a team and that helped us to keep them out.

“We knew that they really like to go long and that there would be a lot of duels. I had to win my duels and just play as I always do. We were keen to record a clean sheet and managed to do just that."
