Real Madrid skipper Sergio Ramos said that he and his team always fight until the end after the defender's latest late heroics in Saturday evening's 3-2 La Liga win against Deportivo La Coruna
The result means Zinedine Zidane's team set a new club record of 35 games unbeaten in all competitions, though Ramos admitted the game was far from perfect.
"At the end of the day, when you fight right until the end, things work out for you," Ramos said on Movistar Plus.
"It was not a great game. We made mistakes and were punished for them, but in the end we turned it around. When you work hard you get results."
Blancos coach Zinedine Zidane made seven changes to his lineup, with Cristiano Ronaldo among those rested, and his team huffed and puffed through the first half but seemed set for a straighforward win when Alvaro Morata hammered home a 25-yard shot five minutes after half-time.
The game then swung around completely in just two minutes as ex-Madrid Castilla striker Joselu, on loan at Depor from Stoke City, took advantage of poor defending to quickly net twice and put the visitors ahead.
With just six minutes remaining, substitute Mariano Diaz guided in fellow replacement Lucas Vazquez's cross to equalise, and well into injury time centre-half Ramos added to his long list of late goals by heading in Toni Kroos' corner for the winner, which keeps his team six points ahead of Barcelona at the top of the La Liga table.
Ramos famously equalised in the 93rd minute of the 2014 Champions League final against Atletico Madrid, and in just over two years since he has at least four times headed late crucial goals, including in last weekend's 1-1 Clasico draw at Barcelona.
"I am happy to keep scoring goals, and above all to keep achieving our objectives," he said. "My mentality is like that -- I want to keep working hard and keep improving. I have many years left in football but I aim to make it difficult for those coming from behind to follow."
One of the players at fault as Depor stunned the Bernabeu to take the lead mid-way through the second-half, Ramos admitted his team had been caught out at times, but said they were now heading off to next week's Club World Cup in Japan in good spirits.
"In the first half we had chances which we did not take," he said. "Then we left spaces and they were able to counter-attack. There are many things to think about an improve.
"In the end we were able to beat a Deportivo team who played very well before we head off now to the Club World Cup."
