The reigning champion had to return to the score to obtain the point, but this result was not satisfactory for the men of Carlo Ancelotti. Lucas Vazquez, captain of the Madrid derby, clearly expressed it. He spoke of his team's performance in an post-match interview with Real Madrid TV (Via Rerevo).
“The draw is not enough for us. The team has planned a match in which the opponent takes advantage without having done anything, and after that, the team changes his face, continues to attack and after the break, we came out very motivated, then equalization arrived… We had opportunities to do 2-1, but the goal did not come.
Vazquez avoids controversy
“We have pushed a lot in the second half. We have made actions with patience, good arrivals in the area … but we lacked luck. The positive side is that we are always leaders, this is where we want and must be and where we will fight to continue until the end. »»
Lucas was then questioned in the mixed area after the penalty that was in favor of Atlético in the first half. RMTV strongly criticized the decision taken by the referee on the field Cesar Soto Grado and the Var team, but the veteran defender chose to adopt an approach similar to that of Ancelotti.
“” Well … We can't talk much about referees either, because they can sanction us. And it's not worth it. We prefer not to talk about it. »»
