Jose Mourinho was pleased with defensive display in
Tuesday's 1-0 Copa del Rey win over Malaga.
Real, who won the first leg 3-2, moved into the last
eight, after keeping a clean sheet, much to the delight
of Mourinho.
"We defended very well and our opponent hardly had
any chances to score. We've scored eight goals in our
previous two games and people accused us of not
defending well. We gave a serious, pragmatic and
practical performance," he told reporters.
"We didn't give a brilliant performance with the ball, but
we reached the next round against a solid side that
played intelligently in both legs."
"It would have been even harder if we hadn't scored
the goal. We made a great effort to win."
"My objective was for us to score in the first half to
force Malaga to take risks, but we didn't manage to.
We were too comfortable in the first half and played a
slower game than we're used to."
Real Madrid will meet Barcelona in the Copa del Rey
quarter-finals if the Catalans successfully defend their
four-goal advantage against Osasuna on Thursday.
