Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos was happy his panenka penalty came off in their Copa del Rey win over Girona.

Real won the quarterfinal first-leg 4-2.

Ramos netted a brace, with his team needing a leader after Girona took a shock lead in the seventh minute of play at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

"Taking a penalty in this manner is a way of expressing my individuality and the good moment I'm living through," he explained in his post-match interview.

"I'm in a very comfortable personal moment right now.

"These penalties keep coming, but I can't get used to taking them in this way, I'll have to put it to one side."
