Real Madrid coach Santiago Solari says Heusca can be proud of their performance on Sunday.

Gareth Bale's goal proved enough for Real for the 1-0 triumph.

Solari stated afterwards, "The most important factor is the opposition. They were brave, took risks and pressed high. They kept pushing until the end thanks to corners, throw-ins and the support of the fans.

"I like a keenly fought LaLiga, where anything can happen. That's great for the fans and it's a long time since it's been like this."
