Real Sociedad coach Imanol Agluacil gave his players a '10' mark after their 3-1 Champions League win against Benfica.

Mikel Merino, Mikel Oyarzabal and Ander Barrenetxea struck for the hosts.

Imanol later said, "La Real have been magnificent, they have played very good football, with passion and aggressiveness, mastering the game, and being above Benfica in all aspects. I think ours has more merit than their demerit, I think we have been very well at all levels, we have played a game of 10.

"Obviously today we were a little more successful but, after 45 minutes of playing, we should have finished it completely. A 3-0 is not bad, but they then made it 3-1, although luckily we have maintained we will be and we have not been in trouble.

"You cannot consider these teams dead, because they are champion teams."
