Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane was pleased with their hard-fought victory away at Alaves.

Sergio Ramos and Dani Carvajal scored either side of Lucas Perez's penalty in the rain and cold at the Estadio de Mendizorroza.

"It's very important victory, but [we will not be] looking at tomorrow's game between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid," Zidane told the press.

"Winning at these grounds is what we live for. We played with lots of personality.

"We played really seriously. We knew that we had to fight and we did it.

"We've got three points at a very difficult place to come."

Zidane made changes to his side for the game, with Alphonse Areola coming in between the sticks.

"[Starting] Areola was today's decision. He's part of the squad, he trains well..." Zidane noted.

"He's part of the squad and he saved us, like [Thibaut] Courtois sometimes does.

"He did fantastically well."
