Real Madrid keeper Casilla delighted to be shootout hero in China

Real Madrid goalkeeper Kiko Casilla was delighted to be their penalty shootout hero in victory over AC Milan.

Casilla starred in the victory over AC Milan stopping the final penalty and he summed up the team's work in the tour of Australia and China.

"These are tournaments that we love to play because they help us prepare for the season, which is going to be long, the tournaments are always better when you win and play well. I was last in the penalty shootout and I managed to save one and score one. I'm old enough not to let the pressure get to me.

"Now we have to train and work hard every day. Being here is like winning a prize for me and I want to do the best I can. I'm just another player in the team and my plan is to work hard. I'm going to do the best I can, help the team to the best of my ability and after that let whoever has to decide, decide."
