It was a disciplined performance in the first half. "In the second half we came out a bit more, went at them, and were unlucky not to get some penalties and a goal. But we’re in a good position now for the home tie.” The 26-year-old was in a bullish mood with regards the second leg in Spain.“We’re very, very strong at home, the crowd gets behind us, there’s big pitch, and we like to score goals,” he continued. “It’s going to be a difficult game - we know that - but one we’re really confident about and looking forward to.”Madrid have won all seven of their home Champions League matches this term, and have not even conceded in any of these games.</blockquote>
