Real Madrid’s Jose Maria Callejon: ‘Goal against Espanyol is my most bittersweet strike’

Callejon, though, refused to celebrate his effort as he held his hands together towards the Espanyol fans in respect, and has now expressed his feelings. "I'm happy with my goal and with the victory, but I must say it is probably the most bittersweet strike I've ever scored because it was against a club that's been my home,” Callejon is quoted as saying by Madrid’s official website. “I didn't celebrate the goal out of respect. I wish Espanyol all the best." Reflecting on their victory at Cornella-El Prat, Callejon stated: "We combined passes from start to finish and scored when we needed to
. We were unlucky at scoring in our recent away matches, but we accomplished our mission on Sunday.” The win lifted Madrid to third in the league standings on 13 points from six matches, one behind leaders Barcelona and Levante.
