Ezequiel Garay says another year at Racing Santander will have him better prepared to make the most of his move to Real Madrid.

The young defender missed Racing's 2-0 defeat to Real yesterday due to a clause in his original transfer and he said: "I will go to Real much more prepared than if it had been this year.

"I'll try to do the best I can and can give happiness to the fans of the Bernabeu."
