Alvaro Odriozola Says Real Madrid Are 'Playing for Life and Death'

Real Madrid defender Alvaro Odriozola said he and his team-mates are "playing for life and death" in each game despite their poor performance in their 3-2 win over Huesca on Sunday.

Los Blancos needed a last-minute winner from Karim Benzema at home to the team propping up the rest of La Liga.

Per Sport, Odriozola said:

"We're very happy with the win, it was a tough game. All the teams come here to make it hard for us, at the end of the day they're playing for life and death, but so are we too.
