Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni appeared in press statements after the 3-1 victory over Villarreal in the eighth round of La Liga at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.

The player said: "We knew before the match that Villarreal is a strong team in La Liga, so we entered the match looking for the win and to secure the three points before the break. We did that, and we are happy with everyone's goals, and we have to continue in this way."

He added: "We did not play well against Atlético Madrid, but when we play every three days, we know that there is a match coming up very quickly, and we have to be smart. We won in Cairo, and today was a very important win for us. Now there will be a break, and then we will return to play important matches."

He emphasized: "The coach asked us to win in front of our fans, and we did that. We played well. Little by little, we felt an improvement during the match, and I think today was a very important win."

He concluded about reaching 100 matches in La Liga with Real Madrid: "I am very happy, very happy. I have been playing for the best club in the world for four years, and I want to continue in this way, winning titles and helping my team win matches. We did that today, and we have to keep going like this."
