Barcelona defender Dani Alves said his sides victory over Real Madrid in El Clasico at Camp Nou was a "great win" and also joked that Los Merengues star forward Cristiano Ronaldo was a little short of his 10 or 20 goal target.

Ronaldo had joked midweek that he would like to score 10 or 20 goals against the champions in El Clasico and Alves countered in kind after his side emerged as winners.

"It's great to win and also reclaim the lead. They [Madrid] didn't take their chances and we did. In these games we don't care how we win as long as we win," he said afterwards, according to AS.

"Cristiano Ronaldo? After much time out it is normal that he was a little lacking in rhythm in the game. He had their best chance in the first half but failed. It's a little short of his desire to score 10 or 20 goals."

The Brazilian full-back also said that it is important for the club that Lionel Messi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic to return to full fitness soon.

"Ibrahimovic and Messi are two very important players for us and they need to be right a hundred percent as soon as possible," he stated.
