Brahim has been named Mahou Cinco Estrellas Player for the month of February. The player picks up the award that acknowledges his impressive performances for Real Madrid over the last month. In February he played in all eight of the team's fixtures, scoring one of the winning goals in the first leg Champions League clash with Manchester City. After receiving the prize at Real Madrid, the forward expressed his gratitude: "I'm really happy to have won this award, but mainly thrilled with how the team is performing and the support and love I get from the fans. It's unbelievable and I always try and repay that on the pitch."

"I'm playing with confidence and I want to keep winning games and helping the team. Now we have to keep up this good form. I try and do my bit to contribute to the team."

Tough calendar
"We're playing every three days and it's a very tight calendar but we're on a good run and we've just won the derby. That puts us in a good position for the return leg. Now we're focused on Rayo and we want to keep winning to stay in the fight at the top of LaLiga. We have to think only about the Rayo game, which is the most important, and the rest will come."
