Illarramendi talked to the press after an excellent Copa del Rey performance and talked about opening his goalscoring account: "I didn't know how to hit it. It went in. I'm happy. I saw the pass and didn't hesitate. In the end I just had to push it. I don't get many chances to score."

Real Madrid gave the opposition no chance of a surprise result: "We knew we had to start strong. We scored a goal early on, put the game in our favour, and the team played pretty well."

Osasuna awaits in the next round: "It will be a tough game. We saw that on Saturday. We'll go all out. We'll do the best we can here. We know it's tough at El Sadar. We can't switch off. With us playing the first game at home, we have to win by a large margin, because we know it will be difficult there."

He is happy at Madrid: "I can't complain about the Bernabéu. The people really show their appreciation."

He had a message for Ancelotti: "Xabi and I have proven we can play together. If the gaffer wants us to, we can. Xabi has always been an icon. Playing with him is truly great."

Sergio Ramos is available for Valencia: "Sometimes the ref's decisions go your way, and sometimes they go against you. Ramos didn't deserve the first yellow. He didn't touch him."
