Real Madrid striker Borja Mayoral: The advice Cristiano gave me...

Real Madrid striker Borja Mayoral was delighted to be part of victory at Levante.< p>

Mayoral started in the 3-1 win.

The youngster said: "I don't think they awarded me the goal in the end, but I said to the referee to see if I could claim it, that it was my first goal and I was excited. I am happy with the win and to be in the Real Madrid starting XI. It was a difficult game and we approached it with a lot of enthusiasm and excitement. We are Real Madrid and we will approach every game with the same desire.

“When Zidane gave the talk he told me I was starting, that I should stay relaxed and calm and work as I know how to. He told me to help the teammates and keep working as I am doing. My team is Castilla and I am here to help my teammates and make my little contribution and do what is necessary."

On teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, Borja added: “He told me to play like against Atlético, to help the others and to work in defence and attack. He helped me a lot."
