Real Madrid's Chilean coach Manuel Pellegrini had plenty of reasons to be content after watching his side win 5-1 in Tenerife.
Last week Madrid had put six past Villarreal, while this Saturday two goals from Gonzalo Higuain put them on the way to another big win against the team second from bottom of Spain's BBVA Primera Liga.
"The team is in form and I am pleased with the way the group is playing. When they play at this level as a group, then their individual talent can flourish," said Pellegrini in Sunday's edition of sports paper Diario AS.
"There are always things to improve, maybe we gave a few things away in defence against Tenerife and we have to control the ball better, but we are working day after day to improve," he added.
Pellegrini's side has scored 64 goals in the Primera Liga this season, but Pellegrini was unwilling to take any of the credit.
"It's down to the conviction of the team. We have options in defense and we continually open up spaces in attack and look to use the wings," he said, before sending a message of support to his homeland, which suffered an earthquake on Saturday morning.
