Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti was delighted for matchwinner Javier Hernandez after their Champions League win over Atletico Madrid.
Chicharito, on loan from Manchester United popped up in the 87th minute to finish from close range.
"We have to congratulate him because it has been a difficult year for him."
"He hasn't played much but he has always trained well, fought hard and made sacrifices. At the end of the day he deserves this. He played really well, he was very lively. He deserved to score that goal, a massively important goal for us," said Ancelotti.
