"We're all together, we're fighting together in the good moments and not so good moments,"
"The team fought well. The start was very good, and we were able to go ahead again at the end. Unity is fundamental."
"We're very focused on doing our thing, We're together, preparing for a game every three days. The lads deserve a lot of credit for the win. We had a lot of absentees, [defender Victor] Valdepeñas had his debut. We're all together in this. We have the Copa on Wednesday and then Sevilla. There's a long way to go, but we have to be consistent in the good things we did today."
Real Madrid won 2-1 at Alavés with Kylian Mbappé opening the scoring, Carlos Vicente equalising, and Rodrygo netting a late winner assisted by Vinícius Júnior. The result left Madrid four points behind Barcelona and eased pressure on the coach after a run that included three league draws and a loss to Celta Vigo. Club executives examined alternatives following the Celta defeat and a subsequent Champions League loss to Manchester City. The squad showed unity despite multiple absentees, featured a debut for defender Victor Valdepeñas, and now faces Copa del Rey and Sevilla fixtures before the Christmas break.
