Jose: Cristiano's goal was incredible

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has hailed the "incredible" goal scored by Cristiano Ronaldo during the team's win over Levante.

The winger's goal was the four thousandth strike at the Bernabeu, and Mourinho believes that there could not have been a hit more worthy of the honour.

"Cristiano Ronaldo's goal was incredible, fantastic, and I believe it will go around the world during the next few weeks. The entire team feels so and it was a special strike for Cristiano." the manager told realmadridcf.com

"It was the 4,000th strike at the Bernabeu and he deserves it."

The goal was one of four that gave Real Madrid an easy victory over Levante, moving the club ten points clear at the top of La Liga. Although, the double digit lead might be comforting for some, Mourinho still feels that there is much work to be done.

"There are many points still at stake and many games yet to be played. Every match is difficult and increasingly so because there is so much at stake for everyone now." he said.

"There are 39 points left, which translate into 13 victories, and that's still a lot. Ten points are just that, but they do give you some room for error. Losing a game won't push us into a decisive situation."

The Portuguese manager also reiterated the importance of winning home games to counter possible away losses.

"We'll play complicated games on the road, but we're proving it's also hard to win against us here." Mourinho stated.

"Levante were very well organised from a tactical standpoint. We have to continue winning games because championships are won only when the math says so."

Despite numerous media reports declaring the title race over, the Los Blancos coach remains wary of doing the same.

"I don't want to comment on what the press says because its interests are different from ours." he said.

"I tell my players that those who say the championship is over are the same who put pressure on us when we don't win."

Mourinho knows that the team need to stay focused throughout the ninety minutes of each game, if Real Madrid are to continue their good run of form and keep themselves at the top of the La Liga podium.

"We're very confident but may lack concentration at the start of our games. We're giving strong performances in the second halves we play at home." the Portuguese coach shared.

"We have many chances on target and we usually score, but we would have lost 1-0 by half-time had we not scored on the 44-minute mark. We have to improve on that because the day will come in which we'll miss."

Real Madrid host relegation-threatened Racing Santander this Saturday in what is expected to be an easy three points for Mourinho's men.
