Real Madrid defender Nacho has spoken out following his side's vital victory against Barcelona in 'El Clasico' on Saturday night.
The Spanish CB was interviewed in the pouring rain that hammered down in Madrid, as it had been for most of the match, and he spoke about the importance of securing the win.
On the night it was Karim Benzema who opened the scoring with a delicious backheel, before a double deflection saw Toni Kroos´s free kick finally hit the back of the net. Barcelona came out in the second half a new team, and pulled one back through defender Oscar Mingueza on the hour mark, but Koeman's men were unable to find a winner despite continued pressure right up to the final whistle.
The win puts Real Madrid top, level on points with Atletico who play this Sunday against Real Betis. Barca drop down to third, but now only a single point separates the three teams. La Liga has been blown wide open!
