At the Madrid "Real" camp exactly a week ago there was a very high mood - "Barcelona" was defeated and the leader's position was regained.
However, the joy did not last long - on Sunday evening the team coached by Zinedine Zidane suffered an unexpected defeat to Seville's "Real Betis" team and fell back to second place.
After the match, Z. Zidane did not hide his disappointment and emphasized that it was the worst match of this season.
"We lacked everything - energy, ideas, ball control, and intensity. This is undoubtedly the worst performance of this season," - said the Frenchman at a press conference.
"This is a very bad day, but it can happen. We cannot now lose our heads because of it. I am responsible for what happened on the field. However, from the beginning of the match, it was felt that playing like this, we would have no chance of returning with a victory.
You cannot expect a favorable result when you so often lose the ball. We did not deserve even a point. Congratulations to the opponents," - Z. Zidane spoke with a bitter taste in his mouth.
After this "Real" failure, "Barcelona" gained a two-point advantage. There are 11 matches left to play until the end of the championship season.
