Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane pulled James Rodriguez aside at the end of their dramatic victory over Deportivo La Coruna.
Zidane again went with the Colombian after his performance against Borussia Dortmund and was happy with his impact.
While James didn't have a hand in any of Real's goals, Zidane was delighted with the midfielder's fight and work-rate.
As the players celebrated Sergio Ramos' late winner, Zidane grabbed James and congratulated him on his performance.
After months of doubt, James has quickly played his way back into Zidane's plans.
