James thrilled to be back for Real Madrid after rout

James Rodriguez was thrilled to be back for Real Madrid in yesterday’s 9-1 rout of Granada.

The midfielder had been missing for two months due to a foot injury.

"It's been 60 days out but my foot didn't prevent me from doing physical work, and that was noticeable. Being at the Bernabéu and everyone chanting my name is a dream come true. It's something really nice and I hope I can keep on helping and working so that the team can get positive results."

"I'm happy to have helped, and what's important is that we won. We have to carry on in this vein. It was a big scoreline, but I think it was fair. Everyone played well today and we know that Cristiano always scores goals. We're happy for him too."
