    Real Madrid were finally able to shrug off recent set-backs and have their spirits lifted up with a convincing display in a 4-1 win over Real Valladolid away from home. 

    This comes as a huge relief to gaffer Santiago Solari who is still in danger of being sacked. 

    Nacho Fernandez has revealed that the relationship between the players and the manager is difficult, but maintained that they are with him to death. 

    “The relationship with the boss [Solari] is difficult as things are not going well,” he said in his post-match interview, according to Marca. 

    “But we are with him to the death.” 

    Los Blancos did not have the best of starts as Valladolid missed a penalty and had two goals disallowed thanks to VAR. But they reacted well to take the game away from the hosts in the second half. 

    “The first half we were absent-minded and untidy,” said Nacho. 

    “We’ve been lucky with the VAR [today]. 

    “We reacted well and the second half was ours.”
