Karanka: Real Madrid never looked like dropping points against Getafe

"This victory is important because it was a complicated match against a difficult opponent and the weather didn't help either,” the former Madrid defender told the club’s official website. “We gave a very good performance and were never in danger of losing the advantage. We would have scored more goals if we'd done better in our chances."We have many players with character and strong personalities, and these games show it. It wasn't easy to win here and we did well to keep the final score.”Madrid, who remain seven points clear of Barcelona at the top of La Liga, return to action against Levante on February 12.
