Real Madrid full-back Alvaro Arbeloa has said the team is happy to set a new record for the number of consecutive victories but it won’t matter in the end if they don’t win anything in May.
Los Blancos crushed Ludogorets 4-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday night to take their winning run to 19 matches in all competitions, overtaking the number of wins achieved by Barcelona in 2005-06.
Arbeloa, who scored the third goal of the evening, said the most important thing for the team is to keep fighting for each other and keep on track on the hunt for trophies.
“We had quite a few chances and I was able to get on the scoresheet. I’m pleased to have done that in front of the home fans and to have celebrated it with them. It has been a perfect group stage, and now we have to wait for the draw,” he told the media after the match.
And he added: “Come May maybe we won’t remember these records. We want to keep on picking up victories and win the three games that we have left this year. Now we have to prepare well for the trip to Almería, which will be difficult. I hope we go into 2015 on this run.”
“We’re very happy for Medrán and about his goal. He was pleased and he took the match ball home with him. He is training with us and he’s doing very well.”
