Real Madrid left it late against Alaves, and it was a massive win that took the Los Blancos top of the table.
Despite being a man down, Real dug deep to win the game, courtesy of a 92nd minute Lucas Vazquez winner.
For Carlo Ancelotti, it was a test of the team’s character.
The Italian said: “We’re really pleased with tonight because it was very difficult but thanks to the immense commitment of this team, we have won it. Playing with ten men for over half an hour required a huge effort.
“That’s why we deserved to win it at the end.
“It was a tough game and when we went a man down, everyone thought this might be the day we slipped up. This team has unfathomable energy.
“We dug in well, played some good stuff and defended well with ten men, and we got our reward at the end.”
