Real were without the services of Marcelo, Gareth Bale and Pep, and Portuguese thinks injury cost them badly, not just in the one game but over the course of season.
“To win a competition so long, you have to have the best players and we haven’t because of injuries. We are playing and we are good, but not the best. When you don’t have the best players like Bale, Pepe, Benzema or Marcelo it’s not easy to win a competition. This is our main problem this year.”

“I am referring to my fitness level, not level of play. I am no better than any of my teammates. I like playing with Karim and when he’s not hear it’s more difficult. When Bale or Marcelo aren’t here too. During the season it’s difficult if they’re not playing. This doesn’t mean that Danilo, who for me was the best on the field, Jesé, Kovacic or Lucas are not good, they are very good.”
While Real Madrid defender Danilo believes Los Blancos didn’t deserve to lose against Atletico de Madrid.
“We’re sad about the result. It wasn’t in our plans. We have to work hard to improve. I don’t think that the defeat was fair. We had chances and they have scored from one attack. It happens in football and we deserved better luck. They were sat back waiting, we went for the game and on a counter attack they scored.”
“I’m always here to help the team, whether that’s on the left or on the right”.
