We have to draw conclusions from what happened, because they will definitely help us in the future. But there is no excuses. We are injured as well as fans. It was a derby and it is a deserved defeat. I was not at stake … not even at stake, we lacked a little advance … the defeat hurts“, Commented Real Madrid's coach.

Xabi Alonso: “A deserved defeat, which we will not forget”

Xabi Alonso refused to seek any guilt to the referee, as he used to, so many times, the club's television station, Real Madrid TV: “There is no guilt. What happened today was independent of arbitration, of any decision. It was a deserved defeat.

We lacked the fluidity with the ball and, without it, we were very weak in duels. Sometimes we could not regain possession in the opponent half. They attracted us and played quickly from long passes. And then, they pushed us and we couldn't even win the first duel … nor the second to progress. A bad match, overall. A deserved defeat, which we will not forget. “

Xabi also had a message for fans. “We are in the full construction period, and in such phases there are difficult days. The way we react is what makes the difference,” said the coach of the galactics.
