Zidane pleased with Real Madrid character shown for victory at Celta Vigo

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane was pleased with the character shown for victory at Celta Vigo.

Luka Modric was sent off for Real Madrid after a tackle on Denis Suarez, and despite the man disadvantage Los Blancos went on to score another two goals.

"We played a very complete game from the start," Zidane went on. "And did so well with 10 players. We suffered to get the result.

"Vinicius and Gareth did well defensively, and did Lucas [Vazquez] and Isco later.

"In defence we were very good, and then we know what we can do when we have the ball.

"We are satisfied and happy. There won't be many teams who come and win here.

"I'm happy after pre-season, which was complicated in terms of results, but was good in terms of work.

"What's important is competition."
