Quotes
"We have to be pleased with the win. We have to remember the problems we encountered, especially in the first half," Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti said after his side's win over Valladolid.
"We improved defensively. The rhythm of the first half was loose and slow. We were more energetic up front in the second half and had more mobility on the ball".
"The team played closer together and got the ball back quickly when we lost it. They were better defensively than in the Mallorca game. It's not just the forwards who were better; we were better as a unit today."
Head-to-Head
Madrid claimed a 2-1 win over Palmas in their last meeting in La Liga with the match taking place at Estadio Gran Canaria on 27 January.
Therefore, Los Blancos are undefeated in their last nine league matches against Pio Pio having registered seven wins and two draws.
