Real Madrid coach Lopetegui delighted with victory over AC Milan

Real Madrid coach Julen Lopetegui was delighted with their Trofeo Santiago victory over AC Milan.

Real were comfortable 3-1 winners.

Lopetegui said, "It is always special to play at the Santiago Bernabéu.

"In this case, as a coach, it is more special. When the game starts, you are already focused on it and trying to help. The emotion is always there and above all it's a thrill for the people who have been here in this club."

"The preseason balance is positive. We have tried to get all the players into this and tried to make them think about the first official match, the European Super Cup. The evaluation is good and we have to keep working hard ".

"Milan played really well. There was some mismatch, but we wanted a few goals and we will work to keep the team growing. I am satisfied with the game against a historic team, a good team that forced us to strive to win. The game had some very good aspects and others not so much, but we must continue working to for the final next Wednesday, which is nearly here."
