Zinedine Zidane has urged Luka Modric to shoot from range more often after his stunning late goal secured a 2-1 win for Real Madrid away to Granada.
Youssef El-Arabi cancelled out Karim Benzema's first-half opener at Los Carmenes and Madrid looked set to fall further adrift of La Liga leaders Barcelona after another stuttering performance on the road.
"He scored a golazo and gave us life," he said afterwards. "Above all, he gave us three points. I'm happy for him. He has to shoot more because he has a good strike."
"You also have to think that there's a team opposite us and the crowd are against us. It's normal that it's more difficult away," he said.
"We leave with the three points. They're very important.
"It takes a lot out of us because they are difficult pitches. Granada have good players who put you in difficulty.
"I'm happy with the attitude of the players. We were not going to win easily. I'm very proud."
"Madrid are ready for the Champions League. You always have difficulty in every game, but we're ready," he said.
He added: "Dani Carvajal has nothing, it's a minor thing. We still don't know what Marcelo has."
