Emilio Butragueno: Real Madrid would have controlled the game against Malaga if had did this
Emilio Butragueno says Real Madrid would have controlled the game, and earned three points if they had gone 2-0 against Malaga.
“If we’d gone 2-0 up we would have gone on to control things. But Kameni did very well. It was a tight game for 90 minutes. We were fortunate to get ahead of ourselves on the scoreboard, but we failed to take our strongest moment. The team tried until the end, but we were not able to score.

“The league is complicated, but we must fight until the end. Nothing is impossible. We are focused on the league and Champions League and will continue to fight,” he said
Meanwhile, John Arne Riise says Rafa Benitez was aware of that Real Madrid job would be difficult, also talked about his compatriot and Real Madrid youngster Martin Odegaard.

“He knew that he was going into a tough job. I was very happy when he was appointed as coach of Real Madrid as I admire him a lot. In fact, I am still in contact with him and I also met him last summer, during Madrid’s pre-season tour in Norway. He lost only a few games at Real Madrid, so I was very sad that he was sacked. But it could have been that his playing style was not what was expected of Real Madrid.
“First of all, it is important to have people around you who believe in you. His father always helps him to make the right decision. Moreover, when you get to know him, he seems older than he is. He thinks with such maturity – despite being still a teenager. Naturally, people expect a lot from him since he plays for Real Madrid, but I think he can be successful in the near future, especially for Norway.”
