Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti was happy with victory at Real Sociedsd.

Real Madrid won 2-0 on Saturday in San Sebastian.

On eight consecutive wins, Ancelotti said, “Those stats suggest that we're performing well. This is a tough place to come to and they're a strong side. We played well and deserved the win after what was a strong all-round performance. We've got that lead at the top because we're playing well, are showing ourselves to be a solid side and are getting that consistency in our results.

“It seemed like it was a straightforward game but it wasn't because Real Sociedad have real quality and the fact that they weren't able to show all of that quality is down to my team, who put in a strong all-round display.

"I don't want to go thinking about winning LaLiga now and I don't want anyone to think about it because every game is a battle and we have to be very smart because our next games come thick and fast."
