Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane paid tribute to skipper Sergio Ramos after victory over Getafe.

Real won 1-0 to go clear at the top of the LaLiga table by four points. Dani Carvajal won the matchwinning spotkick converted by Sergio Ramos.

Zidane said, "Our captain is our leader on and off the field.

"He is an unrepeatable player, unique, we know what he transmits to others. I am happy for his goal, he is very confident in taking penalties and I also keep (Dani) Carvajal's effort in the 80s.

"With patience and a bit of freshness in the end we achieved a very important result."

He added: "We have not won anything yet, we are just doing things well and it is not easy playing a game every three days. For us there is a lot left and we must continue with what we are doing. There are five finals left to play and if we continue with this solidity it is good."
