Higuain delighted with performance

The Argentine forward scored four goals in the match Real Madrid won 4-3.

Higuain said: “It is the first time that I have scored four goals in my life, and I was lucky enough to do ti at the Bernabeu.

“I enjoyed it to the maximum, and I value it highly because we worked hard as a team to win an important game. Everyone will sign the ball and present it to me. It is a memory that I will never forget.

“At times like these I try not to get carried away and just listen to the advice of people around me. Things are going well and I need to be calm. As for the penalties, I have to practice to improve them, but all’s well that ends well when the ball ends up in the goal.”

He added: “I don’t see how we could have played badly, having won 4-3 despite being a man down. That is not easy to do and we should value the effort.”
