"I am delighted to have scored and to have done so in the Bernabeu in front of all our fans," he said.
"To score a goal for Real Madrid fills me with pride and I want to devote it to all the supporters.
"But the most important thing is that we have won. I had a fantastic night and I think all my team-mates were more pleased with my goal than I was."
Gravesen also explained that he is just happy to be a Real Madrid player and that he does not mind being named as a substitute.
"It is nothing. I do not consider myself to be a starter in every game and one needs to remember that we are all pulling in the same direction," he continued.
"I do not get angry being on the bench. What is important is the team and to ensure that we win and reach our targets."
