Why Rafa Benitez feels Real Madrid must do better, despite of historic win over Rayo Vallecano
Rafa Benitez believes Real Madrid must do better to gain momentum in the title race, despite of their 10-2 smashing of Rayo Vallecano.
The Los Blancos boss was not happy with the way Real Madrid conceded two quick goals after scoring an early goal, before taking the lead again with Rayo Vallecano had to play most part of the game with nine men. Gareth Bale gave his one of the best performance in white colors, as he scored four goals with Karim Benzema bagged hat-trick and Cristiano Ronaldo found back of the net twice.

In his post match interview, Benitez was critical of his side defensive display.
There were three stages in the game: We scored, conceded the goals which required us to concentrate more and the numerical superiority imposed on us”.
“We lost concentration, but then did what we had to do, which was to play and score goals.

“[There was no tension in the stands] because it was a short and early period in the game and the team responded.
“Still, the fans were unhappy at certain times of the game, so we must do better.
“[On refereeing controversies], there have been moments in other games which didn’t benefit us and I didn’t talk about referees then, so I won’t now.
“The anthem of La Decima reflects which path we should take. It’s what I like and think would help us all.
“I’m fine. I went out onto the pitch in a focused manner. When the game was difficult, we responded well so I’m satisfied.
“[On whether the game risked being similar to Villarreal], it was nothing like that. The scenario was completely different.
“[When asked for his final message], thank you and Merry Christmas.”
