Carlo Ancelotti said about the game: "We conceded an early goal and we lost confidence. The last two games (against Elche and Atletico) were very bad. We need a better attitude, more concentration, a clearer idea of the kind of game we play. This moment is not easy because it is not good to lose a game at home but I have to think things will improve quickly for us".

"We are five points behind Barça and Atletico, but the championship is long and we have time to catch up. We have to improve. We must play more vertical, faster, without the ball. This is a speed problem", Ancelotti said.

"Atletico Madrid deserved to win the game, they had a very good attitude, very defensive, using very well the counterattack. They scored and then they defended very well. Atletico is a very organized team but that's okay because they work together for a long time, that's what made the difference. Atletico I think, not just today, is a very strong team with a lot of qualities, which plays compact. I think they have good opportunities to fight for La Liga title", the Real coach concluded.
