Real Madrid

Benzema and Granero analysed tonight's match against Barcelona in the mixed zone.

Benzema
"Barcelona are always a great team and we'll have to fight to the end of the next game the way we did tonight in the first half. This is a two game tie and there's still one left, although it was important to win at home. We'll try to defeat them and reach the next round in Barcelona."

Granero
"It's a painful result for us because it's always difficult to lose at our stadium. The tie is open and we'll fight in the return leg to make things difficult for Barcelona."

"We'll have to change our mentality to win Sunday's league match. I'm sure tonight's game will help us be in high spirits to face Athletic Bilbao. We'll think about the return leg after that. The crowd supported the team throughout the entire match and we'll try to compensate them in the Camp Nou clash."
