Strategist Pep Guardiola urges the team to recover as quickly as possible after the defeat in the final of the King's Cup tournament to the Madrid team.
Cristiano Ronaldo's goal in extra time secured the first victory for the capital team in the tournament since 1993.
"These matches mean that someone has to win, and someone has to lose," the specialist said. "We must recover quickly, as there is not much time left until the end of the season.
Of course, it is always better to win than to lose, but we must bounce back. We are in a good position in the national championship, so we cannot stop. The next match is already on Saturday, so I hope the fans will see how quickly we can regroup."
And he continued: "We must accept failure. The opponents played well until half-time, we played well in the second half, but anything can happen when playing against a club like 'Real'. I think we played well. Of course, it sounds strange after a defeat, but it's not easy when the opponents have so many good players."
