Quotes
“It often happens that when you're in control of the game and have chances to finish it off, you can get pegged back, especially when you're up against a good team with quality," Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti said after his side's win over Girona.
"They could have equalized on the counterattack after a corner, but the second goal killed the game. It could have been closed down earlier, yes, but the team played well. It wasn't easy to repeat Wednesday's level of attitude and commitment.
"But with this schedule, a good attitude from the team was enough. I liked how we played”.

Madrid secured a 2-0 win over Betis in their last meeting in La Liga in a match played at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on 1 September.
