“Real Madrid are one of the best teams in the world, and today we had to play a great game,” the Argentinian told reporters.

“From the start, we knew where we could do damage, with breaks on the outside with Nico (Gonzalez), (Pablo) Barrios, Julian (Alvarez), Giuliano (Simeone)... pulling the centre-backs out and leaving (Alexander) Sorloth inside to create chances.

“I think that, beyond their two goals, the team did well.”

The hosts came flying out of the blocks and took the lead through Robin le Normand.
