Rafa Benítez spoke to the media after the friendly in Oslo and admitted that the team lacked bite in front of goal: "We're talking about preseason, friendlies and the team created enough to score. Our precision let us down. We're not a hundred percent satisfied, but I'll take away the positives, I'm pleased with how we pressured, the way we won the ball back and created chances".

"We're missing players. Our top-scorers aren't here. If you gave them twenty chances then these players would have scored, but the important thing is to create openings, that the team is solid and press in the opposition area as we did".

Odegaard

"He's very talented and we have to support him. He's played well and shown his quality even though this was just a friendly. If I were him, I'd be happy to be at Real Madrid and I'd work hard to improve every day".

"Cristiano, James, Bale and Sergio are all great dead ball specialists. We have 15 days to see how our different free-takers shoot and then we'll make a decision".

Bale

"If we analyse his movement today, in the first half he was on the left a lot, linking up with James, and later in the centre. It's one of the keys for these players that they have licence, that they are free to move around".

Asensio

"I said that this game would be the final one to make some decisions. We also still have the Bernabeu Trophy. We'll sit down, talk and make a decision".

Left-back

"Three players have to fight for this position. I'm counting on Coentrão and all the others who I currently have at the moment. Next week he'll start training and in a couple of weeks we should have him back in the squad".
