Mourinho: "Benzema's goal is from out of this world"
"I like to see that all my men respond. It wasn't an easy game and both Granero and Albiol, who hadn't played for a long time, responded very well. This shows the strength of the group and of each individual player. We're all very happy with their performance, just like we were with Sahin's in Cyprus. It always makes us very happy to see men who don't usually play doing this well. As their coach, I wish to thank them for their performances."
"We hardly had any chances to score here last year, but Osasuna attacked more after we had a 3-0 advantage, leaving spaces for us to attack in. We therefore had many chances from counterattacks. It isn't normal to have so many chances here because games at this stadium are very even."
"Khedira is different and brings different qualities to the team. I chose Nuri in Cyprus and today I chose Granero. I try to use the best possible combinations regarding each player and match. I knew what to expect and decided to use Granero. It proved right and I am especially happy for Granero and Albiol. They gave a fantastic performance."
"You never know what the score will be like. Benzema netted a goal that is out of this world in the first chance we got and Cristiano scored from a fantastic shot in our second chance. We did two things very well tonight: we adapted to Osasuna's style and we didn't lose our identity in attack. We did well overall and we reacted after Osasuna gained some strength with their goal."

Real Madrid 4 - 1 Athletico Madrid Video
Jose Mourinho said the derby against Atletico would be difficult, aware of how the very nature of these games transform the teams that play them. Atletico's intention was to give the game a sort of stop-start nature, especially after Courtois was sent off. Eventually, after 45 minutes they couldn't keep this up any longer and Real Madrid turned the score around and showered them with goals.
Atletico positioned themselves well on the pitch and even tried to score on occasion, eventually netting their only strike of the evening when Adrian defeated Casillas while possibly being offside. Real Madrid reacted and Di Maria served a perfect pass to Benzema, who was tackled in the area by Courtois. Cristiano Ronaldo took the penalty and netted the equaliser.
Atletico decided to try to stop Real with fouls and this kept Mourinho's men from having clear chances on Asenjo's goal. Nevertheless, Benzema had a good one, but Dominguez only just managed to clear his shot.
The Whites truly worked on winning the clash after half-time. Cristiano Ronaldo crossed the ball into the box on the 48-minute mark and Di Maria finished it off beautifully. Atletico stayed close to their box trying to cover spaces as best they could, but in the 64th minute, Godin made a huge mistake in a clearance and Higuain, having just come on for Di Maria, snatched the ball from Asenjo and scored a third for the team.
Godin was sent off on the 82-minute mark, giving another penalty to Real that was again converted by Ronaldo, sealing the match 4-1 and giving the Madridistas a 13th straight win this season.

Kaka: Real Madrid can win the treble this season
Los Blancos are currently eight points behind Barcelona in the title race, and face the champions in the second Clasico meeting of the season next Saturday evening.
The two teams then confront each other in the domestic cup final and look set to meet in the semi-finals of the Champions League, and the Brazilian believes that they can emulate the Blaugrana's achievement from 2008-09 in this campaign.
"Of course Real Madrid can beat Barcelona,” he told Madrid’s official website. “We can win La Liga, the Copa and the Champions League, but first we need to focus on Tottenham [in the second leg of the quarter-final tie on Wednesday]."
Kaka scored twice from the penalty spot in the Merengues’ 3-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao at San Mames on Saturday evening and is delighted to have played his part for the team.
"I need to work hard to enjoy football again,” enthused the 28-year-old. “The only problem was with my knee, which limited me from playing all out. I need to work hard down the home stretch of the season.
“I hope to have fun playing football. I feel like I owe it to Real Madrid and the fact that I haven't fulfilled expectations bothers me."
Kaka further expressed his indebtedness to coach Jose Mourinho, stating: "I am grateful to Mourinho for everything he has done to help me. I have no problem with him whatsoever. He is a great coach and he is helping me grow as a footballer."
Kaka has scored four goals and provided one assist in nine league matches for Madrid so far this season.
Athletic Bilbao 0 - 3 Real Madrid (Highlights Video)
Real Madrid played as if their lives depended on it on Saturday and proved once again that this squad’s pride has no limits. With a lineup chalk full of changes, Mourinho made it clear that there is plenty of depth to compete for all three titles. The Whites took San Mames by storm and put on a tactical schooling en route to the 0-3 win.
Higuain was the front man in attack and was backed by Kaka and Granero in the midfield, where Pepe also took position in support. The lineup stunned Caparros, who looked on with a blank stare as Bilbao had no answer for Real in the first half. Di Maria was tripped up in the box by Iraizoz on 12’ and Kaka buried the spot kick to give the Whites the lead. The Madridista duo wreaked havoc on an uncommonly fragile Athletic defense. Higuian could have put the game away before the half but was stymied by the keeper.
Athletic pressured after the restart, but the Madridista defense stood strong and kept Llorente in check while the offense looked to beat the back line with Di Maria’s speed and Kaka’s talent. The Argentine provoked another penalty on 53’ and the Brazilian successful fired home the ensuing spot kick.
Cristiano Ronaldo stepped in for Higuian and eight minutes after taking the field received a long ball along the wing, took it into the box, feinted past San Joseand curled in low drive to the far post. San Mames fell silent as Ronaldo celebrated his 29th league goal of the season.
Iker Casillas:"We want to take three points in Bilbao"
Iker Casillas analysed the forthcoming game against Athletic Bilbao for Bwin.com.
"We want to take three points in Bilbao to try to make a comeback in La Liga. Athletic have a straightforward style and like to cross the ball into the box. We all know how the San Mames crowd roars, especially against Real Madrid. It gives us extra motivation. It will be a beautiful match; it is a fixture we like to play."
"You have to calculate your movements well against Fernando Llorente. The goalkeeper has the advantage of using his hands, but it isn't enough sometimes. The most important thing to do against tall strikers like Llorente is to calculate your movements well and concentrate hard on grabbing the ball."
"A player renews his objectives at the start of every season. We all want to add more titles to our list of honours. I've been at Real Madrid for many years and my goal has always been to make those who love the club happy."
Last Training for the Bilbao match
Final session in preparation for the match in Bilbao

Espanyol 0-1 Real Madrid (Video)
Real Madrid taught a very important lesson to all those who said La Liga isn't a priority for this team anymore. Iker Casilla's red card on the 2-minute mark forced the Whites to showcase many of their values (hard work, epic nature, sacrifice, winning personality) to earn a very important victory over Espanyol tonight that reduces their distance with the leaders to 5 points.
Iker Casillas was sent of for marginally kicking Callejon on his right foot as he tried to clear the ball right outside the box. Other teams would have deflated following such a decision, but Real Madrid pulled rank and doubled their efforts to win.
Di Maria had to come off for goalkeeper Antonio Adan, who made his First Division debut tonight. Khedira soon had two chances to score the opener. Marcelo would net the only strike in the evening from a fantastic shot near the left post, after being assisted by Ronaldo (24'). Adebayor then had a chance to seal the match on the 39-minute mark, but his lobbed shot hit the crossbar.
Real Madrid concentrated hard in the second half and sycronised their movements in defence and attack, making extraordinary efforts to thwart Espanyol's counterattacks.
The Whites continued to have most of the chances on goal in the game. Adebayor came close to netting a second strike twice more, but Kameni defeated him on both counts. Espanyol didn't have many chances, but Adan proved to be a solid keeper, clearing all the shots that were on target.
Real Madrid made a great impression and took three very important points that keep them five points behind the leaders. They will now concentrate on defeating Levante next week at the Bernabeu.

Real Madrid 4 - 2 Almeria Highlights Video & Photo Gallery
Cristiano Ronaldo scored before being sent off as Real Madrid made hard work of seeing off lowly Almería 4-2 in an incident-packed match.
Real had gone ahead in the first half through Sergio Ramos' header and appeared to be in control of the game.
But defensive lapses saw Almería stunned their hosts with two goals in three minutes from Fernando Soriano and Kalu Uche.
With Real looking increasingly frantic, Gonzalo Higuaín calmed nerves by stepping round a defender and curving the ball into the bottom right corner to equalize.
Ronaldo then won a penalty when he fell in the area in the 82nd minute as Almería keeper Diego Alves ran out to challenge him, although replays showed the goalkeeper touched the ball.
Some justice appeared to have been served when Alves saved Ronaldo's resulting penalty, but Karim Benzema followed up to slam the ball into the roof of the net on the rebound.
Ronaldo looked distraught to miss that, but his disappointment was only temporary as moments later he slotted home Higuaín's low cross to make it 4-2.
The Portuguese was booked for taking his shirt off to celebrate that goal, and that proved costly as four minutes later he was handed his marching orders after picking up a second yellow following a tussle with Michel.
