In the 7th round derby of La Liga, Real Madrid suffered a resounding 5-2 defeat away to another Madrid club, Atletico Madrid. The highly anticipated match ended with an unexpected result for the "creamers," who have recently been demonstrating good athletic form.
Following the match, Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso addressed journalists, addressing the team's performance and shortcomings on the field. According to the Spanish specialist, this time his team deserved a complete defeat due to numerous mistakes made.
"We played poorly and suffered a painful defeat. Today we lacked many aspects. We lost control of the ball, lost in duels, couldn't create chances. As a result, we gave the opponent too many chances. We lost on all fronts and couldn't show our level," Alonso said.
According to the coach, this defeat should serve as a lesson for the team. "This was our first loss of the season. It's difficult, but we must learn from it and improve our game. We will analyze this and try to correct it. We are still in the formation stage, on the path of progress," added the Spanish coach.
Alonso emphasized that the team needs to learn from mistakes and strengthen their game in upcoming matches. "We didn't perform as expected in the second half either. "We will learn from this and strive to get on the right track in the next matches," he said.
Real Madrid is now expected to face Villarreal in their next match. Before that, the club will travel to Kazakhstan for an important match as part of the European Cup.
