Real Madrid midfielder James pleased to score in Celta Vigo win

Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez was happy to be on the scoresheet in victory at Celta Vigo.

The Colombian has been outstanding for Real since his return from a foot injury.

"I felt good out on the pitch, comfortable, but I want to highlight the work everyone did because I think that they put in an excellent match and it's three points that mean we're battling for La Liga to the end. We're fighting for everything.

"We're thinking about La Liga and the Champions League, and we can only win and wait. There are five matchdays to go and we have to be focused at all times."

On teammate Javier Hernandez, who scored twice in the 4-2 win, James added: "He's in great form. He deserves what is happening to him now for the way he works in training and the patience he has shown."
