is certain his team are
improving despite being outplayed by Paris
Saint-Germain as they fought to a 1-0 victory on Tuesday.
Laurent
Blanc's men were dominant for much of the Champions League Group A
clash, but were made to pay for a moment of complacency in which Nacho
scored what proved to be the winner 35 minutes in at the Santiago
Bernabeu.
Benitez has faced accusations of Madrid
playing unattractive football since he took the helm in June, however,
he's adamant that better performances are around the corner for his
squad.
"We're qualified so we are happy," Benitez
said after Madrid's slender win, which secured a place in the
competition's knockout phase with two group games to go.
"The
team is still improving and we are still getting players back from
injury. We've qualified and we'll be stronger when we have the others
back.
"PSG are a top team. We've won and we've
suffered, but we're top of the group without conceding a goal. It's a
positive against a difficult opponent.
"The performance here gives more value to the result in Paris."
Madrid
now prepare for a visit to Sevilla " who were beaten 3-1 by Manchester
City in the Champions League as Benitez's men edged past PSG " on
Sunday.
