Real Madrid boss Julen Lopetegui has paid tribute to the "mentality" of his team following Sunday's 4-1 win over Girona in La Liga.

Los Blancos fell behind in Catalonia to an early strike from Borja Garcia, but went on to score four times without reply to record their second La Liga victory of the 2018-19 campaign.

Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Sergio Ramos were all on the scoresheet against Girona, but Lopetegui was keen to hail the strength of the group.

"The team is the one that works and when it works, the goals come in the form of Gareth, Karim or Sergio," Lopetegui told Movistar.

"The important thing is that they arrive, not who gets them, the team has made collective sense. I emphasise the mentality of the team. The match was difficult. In a hard moment of the game we have shown we know how to play."

Madrid will look to make it three wins from three when they host Levante next weekend.
