Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane highlighted the performance of Nacho for victory over Celta Vigo.
Nacho stepped in for Sergio Ramos against Celta.
"It's not just now, he's very professional all the time and he's always important when he plays," Zidane said on the defender.
"What he's done doesn't surprise me. I'm happy for him and for the team because these are three very important points."
Dani Carvajal was substituted for the final few minutes at Valdebebas.
"Carva had a niggle," Zidane explained. "I think it's a minor thing and it was best not to take risks."
