Real Madrid goalkeeper Kiko Casilla was happy to feature for victory over Espanyol.
Casilla was called up to replace Keylor Navas.
"I'm happy with the result, with the performance and to be back playing again. For me it is always special to play against Espanyol. I knew that after the cup it was going to be difficult, but the coach gave me these minutes and I thank him for that. We have to keep working and show that we're in good shape.
"On Wednesday we have an important game in Valencia, we have to get the three points and we know that after every game, we're near the end. We've always tried to be at our best, but the important thing is that we have returned to winning ways and we want to continue like that."
