Keylor Navas says the Real Madrid players are pleased with another clean sheet after the 0-0 draw with Manchester City on Tuesday.
Los Blancos had the chances to come away with a vital away win but in the had to be satisfied with a draw and need to win at the Santiago Bernabeu in the return leg if they are to secure a place in the Champions League final in Milan next month.
The clean sheet was the team’s 9th in the competition this season and Navas said after the game that one more will help a long way in getting the team into the final.
“We all wanted to win the match, it was important for us, but it’s always good to keep a clean sheet. We’ll have to try and do the same at home and win the game. At the Bernabéu, we’ll have to give everything to get to the final. Winning is the only way to do that,” he commented.
He added: “We had to manage the game. Manchester City came out strongly and we didn’t want to make any mistakes. We slowly began to take control of the match and did so until the end. The team did a good job, everyone was focussed and very well organised in defence, and thanks to that we avoided too many problems.”
