Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos says he is not thinking about the semi-finals of the Champions League after having defeated Tottenham 4-0 on Tuesday evening.
The stopper admits it was a favourable outcome for the Spanish giants, but will need to respect their opponents and not think too far ahead.
"It is a favourable outcome for us," the 25-year-old said after the match, as reported by Goal.com Spain. "The players will go home with the tranquility of having done things right this evening.
"I don't think we should be speaking about the semi-final, as it would be disrespectful to our rivals."
The Spain international also thanked the fans for the support during the encounter, as it lifted the side and acted like a 12th person on the field.
"We are very grateful for the response of the fans," he added. "They were the 12th person and helped us throughout the whole game."
