Quotes
“I'm trying to grab the opportunities that the coach gives me. I'm pleased about equalling my goal tally and with the win," Asensio said after their win over Getafe.
“We knew it was going to be difficult because there was very limited space between the lines and that's where Eden Hazard and I were trying to get the ball.
"We had to look for the third man quickly and play with precision. We struggled in the first half. We came out better in the second half, we played the ball around quickly," he added.
"We managed to drag Getafe out of position and the spaces appeared. We were very good in the last 35 minutes.”
Head-to-Head
Madrid emerged as 2-0 winners over Valencia in their last meeting in La Liga and the game took place at the Estadi de la Ceràmica on 2 February 2023.
