Real Madrid

Iker Casillas perfectly summarised in the mixed zone how the squad felt after the match in Barcelona.

"I believe everyone watches these games and we had chances to score from the first second of play. They were lucky to score in five minutes. We played our game and stood our ground... We gave a ten out of ten performance and we're proud to be Madridistas. I'm sad but also happy because we proved to be superior."

"We shouldn't think back on last week and instead stick to today's work. Last week, people were saying Barcelona were three steps above us, but today they'll say we're equal. Every match is a world in its own. This always changes."

"We've left a championship we won last year and we must focus on others. Some refereeing decisions were detrimental to us. It's true we've said it was impossible to win here because there are always small details that make it so."
