“There’s not much to say. We were the better team from my point of view, but this is Real Madrid. They create few chances and they score. But, overall, we were the better team,” he said.

“We have to react. We have the match against Alavés next week. We’re going to analyze the mistakes we made and recover for the next game.

“Now, it’s time to work. The lads are fired up to respond against Alavés and that’s what we’ll do.”
