Real Madrid midfielder Fede Valverde has admitted that the team’s recent 4-0 thrashing in El Clasico by Barcelona was a painful defeat for Los Blancos. Barca enjoyed a comfortable win at the Santiago Bernabeu back in October, with Valverde admitting the better team had won the game in the Spanish capital. “It hurts a lot and obviously it makes you very helpless not to have gotten the three points on our field,” he told Jorge Valdano on Movistar+’s ‘Universo Valdano’ “You also have to recognize when one played a game inferior to the other and I think Barcelona played a very good game.
I think it’s not all bad for Madrid, I think Barcelona did things well. “Especially in the second half. The first half was very even.
They had chances and so did we. In the second half they scored a goal and everything changed, the energy changed, at least in our team. Then they put the second one on us and that’s it, obviously, it goes beyond what is tactical.
You forget a little, you go a little crazy. “They play very well, they knew how to handle when they were ahead and that’s it, I think they played a very good game at the Bernabéu.” Barcelona currently sit six points ahead of Madrid in the table, although Carlo Ancelotti’s side do have a game in hand on their bitter rivals.
