Real Betis vs Real Madrid 1-6 All Goals & Highlights 2016
Zinedine Zidane praised Real Madrids attitude after they put a four-game winless run behind them by thrashing Real Betis 6-1 in a relentless display away from home on Saturday.
Real were missing their captain Sergio Ramos and the influential midfielders Luka Modric, Casemiro and James Rodrguez but raced into the lead in the fourth minute when Raphal Varane nodded in Toni Krooss cross from a free-kick.
The players are talented and intelligent, and they knew they had to begin the game in the way they did. When we play with that intensity from the start its very difficult for our opponents, Zidane said.
Now we have to remain consistent and this game was a great display, a reference point. Its not easy to play like this away from home.
The German international Kroos, who signed a new contract with the club until 2022 on Wednesday, compensated for the absence of his usual midfield partners with a powerful display and also teed up Karim Benzema for Reals second.
The Spain international Isco made the most of the opportunity his sides injury crisis afforded him by scoring Reals fourth and fifth goals either side of the break.
First he finished off a frenetic counterattack, tapping Pepes pass into the net after an arrowed cross from Cristiano Ronaldo, and just after the hour mark he sent a majestic curled effort into the far top corner.
He played very well and Im very happy with his goals and his overall work. Im delighted with his display, added Zidane.
When you love football and you see your team score a goal like our fourth, with very few touches and with the speed of the transition, you just want to watch it again and enjoy it, and thats what Im going to do.
The left-back Marcelo got on the scoresheet to mark his return from three weeks out through injury, and the talisman Ronaldo grabbed the final goal to round off a happy night for Real after a difficult month.
