Madrid's "Real" suffered their first defeat of the season in the Spanish "La Liga" championship on Sunday.

The "Royal" club lost to "Atletico" players in the city derby with a score of 1:3.

After the match, "Real" coach Carlo Ancelotti emphasized the defensive problems and took responsibility for the defeat.

"The biggest problem in this match was our defensive vulnerability. We have not had such problems so far this season. Previously, we conceded three goals in several matches, now we conceded the same in just 45 minutes.

We were too vulnerable. I don't really want to talk about individual mistakes, but we played poorly in defense. It's interesting that all the opponent's goals were very similar in style, with our central defenders being separated from each other.

Perhaps I could have prepared the team better. Clearly, when the team doesn't play as well as they can, then it is my responsibility," Ancelotti said after the defeat.
