The Brazilian midfielder starred in the victory at the Bernabéu on Sunday evening and enjoyed the win although he recognised that it was just three points for Fabio Capello's outfit.

"We have only won one match, not the title or the Champions League," Emerson said.

"Winning is always good, but we have still not achieved anything yet and we have to work even harder."

Reflecting on the win in Europe in midweek and the Barça encounter, the former Roma and Juventus star admitted he was pleased with the sudden turnaround at the club.

"I think that we have played two very good games, one in the league against Barça and the other in the Champions League against Steaua," he continued.

"We played very well against a great team."

While many pundits have pointed to Barça's poor display, Emerson believes that Madrid did well to prevent the Catalan side from performance.

"Barcelona are a very strong team," he said. "They have quality players and I believe that we played well and made it very difficult for them to play.

"I do not think that they are nervous, they have some great personalities."
