Ruud van Nistelrooy was full of praise for Real Madrid's defence after yesterday's 2-0 victory at Atletico.
The Dutchman, who struck Real's opener inside the first minute, said: "We've now played many games without conceding a goal, that's important and always makes it easier to win.
"We were 2-0 ahead at halftime, but Atletico still pushed us hard in the second-half. We had to fight every step of the way to ensure victory."
