No attitude problem at Real Madrid

Suarez and Neymar ensured Barcelona did not miss the Argentine too much during his two months out, scoring all 19 of the club’s La Liga goals before Iniesta struck at the Bernabeu.

The top two clubs in the world had met each other on their 12th match of the season at the home ground of Real.

“We have full confidence in him and him with us”, said the Brazilian. It has to have consequences.

Gareth Bale has no intention of cutting short his spell at Real Madrid as he targets further trophies with the Spanish giants.

“This is a problem for Real Madrid that will not change unless the whole idea and whole philosophy changes. This squad won the treble a year ago and it is one of the best squads you could hope for”. “No one should bet on me to become the next [Real Madrid] manager”. “There are things that can go badly, we misplaced a lot of passes and they knew how to capitalise on that”, Ramos admitted.

Benitez said: “I choose the starting 11 trying to manage in the best way possible the group that I have”. We coughed up some balls, and a good team like them can do you damage. “What we need to do now is get ready for the upcoming game and lift our spirits again”.

“We have to reflect on what happened and stay united”.

Rafael Benitez feels Barcelona made Real Madrid pay for their mistakes in Saturday’s 4-0 Clasico defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu.

“We enjoyed it a lot, not just because of our play”.

“We will analyse this, but most important is to get the group back together and focused on moving forward and getting three points in the next game”. If that had gone in we would have been back in the match.

“Our idea was to squeeze possession and to take advantage of having players with experience”.

“It wasn’t a question of attitude”.

At half time we spoke about lifting our game and finding a goal. The chance for Marcelo was a key point.

“It was a complete game from us”.

“It’s a hard moment for us”. We leave here with a very high morale.

“I don’t think Real Madrid gave up, we were a level above them and we outnumbered them in many areas of the game”.
