Meeting HighlightsRayo Vallecano
We've been strong at the Bernabéu so far. The atmosphere always helps us, it's our home and we want to put in a good performance, I hope we can stay top of the table. We will rotate over the next three games but the priority is tomorrow. We'll be playing against a side in very good form, they're well organised and solid. We have three games at home and now is the time to make a statement in LaLiga and the Champions League.
Competition in LaLiga
It will be a hard-fought LaLiga campaign. We'll be fighting against Barcelona and Atlético until the end and we'll see how Girona go because they're playing brilliantly. Those are the teams, Real Madrid included, who will be battling out to win the competition.
Arda Güler
Arda Güler is back training with the team. He's recovered but he needs game time now. He'll be in the squad tomorrow and he'll start getting minutes. We'll put him on a special plan to improve his fitness but the most important thing is that he's working with us now and he'll be able to show his quality soon. Arda is an attacking player. He can't play as a centre forward but he can operate as a number ten or on the right wing cutting inside. He can play more in central midfield as well, it depends on the demands of the game.

In the end, we all have to face each other. We have a good dynamic, although there is a lot of togetherness. Visiting the leader is very motivating for everyone. We arrive at a time when we know who we are and who we will encounter. We want to compete, bring out our weapons and make it difficult for one of the best teams in the League.
Real Analysis
You must know how to make the most of the moments. Deep down you have to defend them because they force you. Ball losses should be avoided with players like Vinicius and Rodrigo who are very good in transition. On a mental level, you have to be very competitive in duels. We need to be very strong on this issue. We have weapons to harm them.
Team Status
The team is good. I'm excited to face Madrid, which is an extra motivation. We will try to compete to the maximum to make our fans proud.
