Real Madrid's French defender Raphael Varane highlighted the work done by his team and the three points earned in the 1-0 win over Rayo Vallecano.

"We had the chance to kill the game off in the first half but we didn't do it. After that we defended well, together and we earned the three points which is the most important thing."

"We created lots of chances which is important and later the goals will arrive. The best thing is everyone's attitude, that we worked on the pitch," underlined Varane.
