Real Madrid 0 4 Barcelona. What a humiliation! Read What Benitez Said

 

Benitez: We are all responsible

More from Benitez: “We’ve made mistakes and against a team like Barca you pay for those dearly.
“The idea was to use players with experience and personality.
“We wanted to attack and win back the ball high up the field but it didn’t come off.
“We’re all responsible for it not going well, now we look for unity in the group and to try and sort this out in the next game.
He’s asked by the press if he picked Florentino Perez’s XI: “I try to manage the squad as best as possible.
“I picked players with the quality to do better than we did.”

Rafa: There was little to say

Benitez: “When you lose in this way there is a worry as to how the players will react. We’ve paid for our mistakes.
“At half-time they were angry and at the end of the game there was little to say.
“I won’t talk about a lack of desire in my team. In the second half we’ve started really well we just lacked a reaction.”
