ARANA: 'WE KNEW THAT THIS WAS A BIG GAME AND WE HAD TO START START VERY FOCUSED'

Arana was the only change in the starting eleven from the Levante game and had a game that will live long in the memory: 'It's a historic night for myself and the team. We are very happy and it's a great victory. We knew that this was a big game and we had to start very focused. We did that and I think it was one of the best matches of the year.'

Sevilla's efficiency shone through and made things very tough for Madrid: 'We always work hard and it was very important to score because doing so always brings us closer to the win. Today was no different and we converted our chances.' The full-back also calmed any fears over his fitness after he was forced off with a knock: 'I'm very good, a little tired but there is nothing to worry about. I ran a lot and I need to rest a little because there is another game on Saturday. The fans are happy and we thank them for the amazing atmosphere.'
