After failing to beat Deportivo away since the 1991/92 season, Real Madrid managed to win 3-1.
“I’m very happy for the win because traditionally it’s a very difficult ground for Real Madrid. The team have played a very good game and we are pleased,” said Pellegrini.
“I think this team has played very good matches throughout the season. Honestly I don’t think it’s been the best game.
“I think we had as good a game in Bilbao (1-0 defeat to Athletic in previous away match), although there we lost. We went out to take the initiative from the first moment.”
