Madrid leader Cristiano Ronaldo and coach Jose Mourinho unusually praised Lionel Messi.
The fierce capital club's opponent's forward scored five goals in last week's Champions League match against Leverkusen's "Bayer" and achieved a new record.
C.Ronaldo said about it: "I'm happy for Messi. I'm not sure if I could ever score five goals in one day, but I hope I can."
Jose Mourinho also added: "Scoring that many times is never easy. That night was great for him."
In the Champions League round of 16, "Real" will play the return leg against Moscow's CSKA on Wednesday. The first leg in the Russian capital ended in a 1-1 draw.
