Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, has hailed his side’s “serious performance” in Saturday’s 3-1 La Liga victory at home to Getafe.
Zidane, speaking after the game, said it was the ideal warm-up for their Champions League second leg at Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday.
Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo gave the home side a two-goal lead in the first half, before Francisco Portillo pulled one back from the spot.
But Ronaldo, who has now scored 300 goals in LaLiga, wrapped up the win with a 78th-minute header.
“The team are better than we were four days ago, and better to arrive with this victory for Tuesday’s game,” Zidane said.
“It was very important to play a serious game today, we saw all the players very focused, which is what is most important.”
Zidane would not reveal whether injured duo Toni Kroos and Luka Modric would make Tuesday’s game at PSG, though he did suggest that if they could not train on Sunday morning they would be ruled out.
“We know what Kroos and Modric have done in this team, but we can just look to Tuesday’s game and see who we will play.
“We have two days left, tomorrow is the day to see if they train with us. Then we will see. We will all travel one way or the other, then you will see the team on Tuesday,” he said.
