Good luck to Real Madrid as they head to #CWC Madrid got lucky - Casillas The goalkeeper felt his side were fortunate to emerge victorious on Friday night, despite the convincing nature of the scoreline By Alec Fenn Dec 12, 2014 22:23:00 Iker Casillas admitted Real Madrid got lucky after extending their winning streak to 20 games in all competitions with a 4-1 win at Almeria. Iscos curling effort made it 1-0 before an equaliser from Verza on 39 minutes, only for Gareth Bale to head Madrid into the lead before half-time. Almeria then had the chance to level for a second time, but Casillas kept out Verzas penalty, and Madrid took full advantage with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring twice late on to seal the win. At 1-2 if we’d conceded a goal the game would’ve been different, but we reacted after that. I don’t know whether in general it was our most uncomfortable game so far. Maybe. But today we said at half-time that we weren’t at our best; maybe we were a wee bit fortunate. During games like this you just have to push on. The penalty save was in a key moment and the game would probably have been different. We reacted and at the end not only Cristiano but our defenders responded as well. Victory means Madrid are now five points clear of second-placed Barcelona, who face Getafe in La Liga on Saturday. Carlo Ancelottis side will now head to Morocco to contest the Club World Cup, where they will face the winners of the quarter-final between Cruz Azul and Western Sydney Wanderers. Casillas added: Its time to think about the Club World Cup, which is key for us. Were going to try to end this fantastic year with another success.
