Real Madrid boss Benitez cracks joke about De Gea deal

Real Madrid coach Rafa Benitez cracked a joke about his goalkeepers after their draw with AC Milan.

Kiko Casilla was the hero in the penalty shootout in China.

Benitez remarked: "I had a good goalkeeper in the first half (Keylor Navas), another in the second (Kiko Casilla) and a third waiting, and in case that's misinterpreted I mean the lad (Raul Yabanez) on the bench.

"I reiterate that we have to keep on working and things will steadily take shape."

A move for Manchester United keeper David de Gea remains on for Real.
