Real Madrid chief Butragueno: Olsen was Roma's best player

Real Madrid chief Emilio Butragueno felt they thoroughly deserved their victory over Roma on Wednesday night.

Real thumped their Champions League opponents 3-0, with Isco, Gareth Bale and Mariano Diaz scoring the goals.

Butragueno stated: "We started with absolute dominance, we went in at 1-0, but the team deserved more goals, we scored three and (goalkeeper Robin) Olsen was the highlight of Roma.

"The coach plays an important role, all the players have performed well."

On Keylor Navas' recall, he added: "A great goalkeeper who, when demanded, has responded perfectly."
