Jose Mourinho, the head coach of Real Madrid, said after the victory against Barcelona in El Clasico: "This team is strong from within and the empathy between the players is growing. They support each other. It's a pleasure to work with such a group." He continued: "When we get back to training, I won't let anyone have their head in the clouds. If we lose in El Sardiniaro, the victory today is worth nothing. Real Madrid is playing for the championship." Mourinho continued: "I think it was our most difficult game, because we faced an opponent who had won all their games in the league. "We beat some teams by four goals, but this is Barcelona and our players played a great game." The coach of Real Madrid considered the victory in El Clasico as the turning point of his team's season: "After this game our gap could have been three, six or nine points. If the distance was 9 points, the situation was difficult. "Six points mean the competition is balanced, but three points make the situation different." He said: "You can win with luck and a lot of defense, but we won peacefully and justly."
