Marco Asensio suggested Real Madrid‘s 2-0 win over Getafe was the best possible start to their La Liga season.

The hosts bounced back from their UEFA Super Cup defeat to Atletico Madrid thanks to goals in either half from Dani Carvajal and Gareth Bale.

Speaking after the game, Asensio said: “It was very important to do well. We played a complete game and this was the way to start in the league.

“The front three seemed more fluid and free without Cristiano Ronaldo in the team.

“We have a great team and are working well.

“We’ve had to turn the page and start a new season with great enthusiasm.”

The 22-year-old added: “Transfers aren’t up to me, that’s decided by the President and the coach.

“I have no voice or vote to decide that.”
