Michel Salgado and Marcelo offererd their thoughts on Real Madrid's final match of the season.
Salgado:
“The red card was a bad call. I think everyone saw it, but the referee believed it was a foul and I have nothing more to say. A player must ask for forgiveness after doing something badly, but they don't say they are sorry or correct themselves.”
“I don't decide if I will be playing for Real Madrid next year. It's up to the new coach. The names of the president and coach have yet to be decided, but they will call the shots. I hope this wasn't my last match for Real Madrid.”
“It's hard to comment on the relegation of Betis, but it would have been just as hard had it been Osasuna, Getafe or Valladolid. It's a sad day for football.”
Marcelo:
“The fans went crazy for their team. It was already a complicated match before the send-offs, but we played as best we could and had a chance to score the equaliser.”
“The season got off to a rocky start, but the second half was very good other than the last few matches. I am pleased with how I finished the season, but I want to continue working hard.”
