Schuster salutes real Real character

Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster paid tribute to his team’s attitude after watching the Spanish champions secure a hard-fought 1-0 victory at Athletic Bilbao on Saturday night.

Ruud van Nistelrooy struck 10 minutes after half-time to send the visitors seven points clear at the top of the Primera Liga table, with bitter rivals Barcelona and surprise package Villarreal both playing on Sunday.
