Sergio Ramos: "We are grateful to our fans"

Sergio Ramos and Marcelo coincided with the rest of their teammates in pointing out the importance of Tuesday's victory against Tottenham.

Ramos:
"Crouch being sent off influenced that match, but that doesn't mean we deserve any less credit. We played a serious match and had a clear game plan. We really felt our fans and the passion that they exude. We are grateful to them. They really came out to support us and we hope they continue."

"Hats off to Adebayor for his two goals, but I cannot forget about the others. We are a complete team and each one of us plays a crucial role on the pitch."

"We know what we will find in London. Even a man down Tottenham played a serious match, so I am sure it will be tough on their turf. We are still alive in all three compeititions, so hopefully things turn out well over the next month and a half."

Marcelo:
"I wasn't 100% fit, but I spoke to the coach and medical staff and I had to help the team. I did what I could. Tottenham will make it hard on us if we relax in the next match, but if we play like today it will be hard for them to beat us in London. Our fans were marvelous. We also play for them."

Marcelo: I Was Not Interested In Watching Barcelona

Real Madrid left-back Marcelo spoke in a post-training press conference today, commenting that he had not watched Barcelona's Champions League match last night.

"I did not watch Barca's match yesterday. I don't know how they played and it doesn't interest me. What interests me now is our match against Racing Santander," said the Brazilian in comments reported by AS.

When asked about Madrid's chances of breaking the legue's 107-goal scoring record, Marcelo affirmed that the record could serve as an extra motivation for his side. As for team-mate Kaka's physical condition, Marcelo confirmed that the Brazilian midfielder is "much better", but admitted: "I don't know if he will be able to play against Barcelona."
