Alaves coach Garcia thrilled following their victory over Alaves against all odds

Alaves emerged victorious thanks to goals from Carlos Vicente and Carlos Martin, while Dodi Lukebakio netted a late consolation goal for the visitors.

Garcia said afterwards: "The first half was very high quality, it was one of the best this year. We deserved the victory, I think it was even short. They have so much quality that if you lose focus just once, they can score. I am very happy.

"We worked hard to push ourselves, and it worked out very well. For us, every time we win is a step forward towards our goal."

Asked if Carlos Vicente can reach the Spain team, Garcia added: "It's difficult to get a Deportivo Alavés player called up, it's very difficult. I'd be delighted, I wish I was, I'd be really happy, but I don't think so. The media impact we have is much smaller than that of others..."
