Kepa delighted with winning Real Madrid debut

Kepa Arrizabalaga made a winning debut for Real Madrid at Celta Vigo on Friday night.

The on-loan Chelsea goalkeeper kept a clean sheet as Real won 1-0.

He later said: "It's was a very important victory. We've played our first three games away from home and we've won three out of three. It was a tough game, Celta at home are very strong and it was their centenary. The fans were also right behind them. It was a performance characterised by maturity and patience. We're happy to pick up the three points"

"I've tried to take things as calmly as possible. I'm gradually getting to know my teammates and what the coach expects of me. I've been with my teammates for a week and a few days now. I'm happy to contribute on the pitch.

"I'm settling in gradually. I'm the newest arrival and I'm looking forward to helping out. I'm particularly happy with the clean sheet, the result and the three point.'
