“»He's a high quality player. That's very important. He's also got a bit of luck. This one was similar to the one he scored against Getafe. Maybe «He's smarter, faster than the rest. In any case, he's a high-level footballer, that's what sets him apart,» said Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti.
