Real Madrid defender Alvaro Arbeloa has voiced his satisfaction with his side's 1-0 La Liga win away over Getafe on Saturday evening.
A single Sergio Ramos strike helped los Blancos to the full three points at the Coliseum, and Arbeloa was pleased with the final result, although he felt Madrid could have scored more.
"It is a very important victory because it's always hard for us to score here. We took three very important points that bring us closer to our objective," Arbeloa was quoted as saying on the official Madrid website.
"We were unlucky not to score from the other two or three clear chances we had, but the team did well overall. We know we are efficient at scoring goals, but it's also important to keep a clean sheet in games in which we don't score many, like tonight's [for Saturday]."
Real Madrid currently sits top of the Primera Division table with 55 points from 21 games.
