Cristiano Ronaldo has hailed Real Madrid’s performance in the 3-1 Copa del Rey victory over Barcelona on Tuesday evening as ‘perfect’.

Real Madrid started the game after a 1-1 draw in the first leg at Santiago Bernabeu, and a double from CR7, followed by a fantastic header from Raphael Varane who led Los Blancos to an impressive win against their Clasico arch-rivals the blaugrana.

And Ronaldo was ecstatic:

“It was a very good game from the first minute to last,” he said.

“We were very serious, and showed a great attitude. We played better and scored three goals away from home.

“We are very happy that we’ve played terrifically. We’ve played better here than we did at home, that’s true.

“We are confident and we are still here. We all like to play here.”

“Playing against Barca is always a great motivation. La Liga is still important, but less because of the big gap,” he said.

“We have to focus in the league and the Champions [League], we’ll try to win everything as usual.”
