Esteban Granero says Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho demands the best from his players every day.

The midfielder says he's happy to play for the master coach.

"Mourinho has managed to get us fighting with him until the very end. That's one of his virtues and he has managed it by being honest," said Granero.

"That's the difference. A coach who has won it all, who wants to carry on winning, his ambition is contagious. He makes you give 100% all the time, day-in day-out. An ambitious footballer is thankful of that."
