Jose Mourinho: 'Real Madrid deserved to win against Levante'

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has said that he is happy with his side's performance against Levante in La Liga on Sunday.

Alvaro Morata's 84th-minute goal saw the defending Spanish champions win 2-1 at Estadio Ciudad de Valencia.

"We deserved to win but Levante made it very difficult like they always do," said Mourinho.

"Both teams had to adapt to play in these difficult conditions, but playing in the rain is part of football.

"Levante reacted well. We had to give everything we had to win the game."

Madrid remain third in the league table, eight points behind leaders Barcelona.
