Madrіd defender Sergio Ramos attributed the blame for poor team performance against "Mallorca" to fatigue and noted that the most important thing is to earn three points.

"Of course, we didn't play at the level we should have, but a few days ago we had a tough derby against Madrid "Atletico,"" said Ramos. "We achieved our goal and earned three points.

"The coach knows which players need rest, so there were changes in the line-up. Furthermore, we played much better after the break."

Another defender, Ricardo Carvalho, expressed similar sentiments: "We didn't play well and encountered difficulties. "Mallorca" has fast players who can cause problems."
