Eder Militao's first words after making Real Madrid return SEVEN MONTHS on from injury

"I'm so happy, I can't even explain it," Eder Militao told Real Madrid TV. The Brazilian has just made his first appearance for Los Blancos after spending the last seven months on the sidelines.

As a reminder, the Brazilian suffered an unfortunate ACL injury early in the season. Ironically, it was Athletic Bilbao he faced on both occasions.

"It [the return] had to be here, at home. I have thought about this moment many times. Now let's enjoy the moment."

Oh, we'll gladly do it. Tonight not only marked Militao's return but also a solid 2-0 win over this year's Copa del Rey finalists.

Los Blancos are eight points on top of La Liga at the moment.
