Real Madrid played a tough match yesterday in sunny Madrid against Rayo Vallecano. Los blancos managed to snatch three points, courtesy of a great back-heeled goal by Cristiano Ronaldo.

It may not have been the most attractive of matches, but at least Real Madrid will continue their march to the Spanish League title.

Ordinarily, I write down a bunch of quotes for everyone to catch up with the players and coach following the match, but this time you can hear their opinions for yourself.

In this interview, Coach Mourinho discusses the importance of this hard-fought victory.

Hear what some of the players had to say after the jump!

Arbeloa and goal-scorer Cristiano Ronaldo responded to the media in the mixed zone.

You can see Real Madrid back in action this Sunday in la Liga against Espanyol at the Santiago Bernabeu. Let's hope for an easier and more attractive game.
