Real Madrid striker Javier Hernandez was thrilled to prove the matchwinner in their Champions League win over Atletico Madrid. Chicharito, on loan from Manchester United popped up in the 87th minute to finish from close range.

"Every goal I've scored during my career has been important, they all fill me with confidence.

"This was a collective effort, it was a great assist by Cristiano and we all covered a lot of ground and battled hard. We deserved to win.

"It is a derby and things hadn't been going well for us since la Décima. This win was the work of the whole team, the fans, my team-mates, my family and everyone who has showed faith in me."
