Xabi Alonso explained the reason for Real Madrid's defeat

Real suffered their first defeat of the current season. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

On Saturday, in the Madrid derby, the "Los Blancos" lost to Atlético with a score of 2:5. After the match, the team's head coach Xabi Alonso shared his thoughts.

According to him, it was a heavy defeat, but such situations can happen. The team will learn from this incident, analyze what happened, and draw conclusions.

Alonso emphasized that they will not forget this game. In today's match, the team did not fight enough and did not reach Real's level.

They should have played differently in the second half. The team was not at their level, did not fight on the field, struggled to gain possession, and the pace of the game was lacking.

The coach, who said this was the first defeat of the season, noted that although the loss is bitter, the season has just begun. He stated that they need to draw conclusions and work on themselves.

The next match will take place on September 30, when Real will play away against Kairat in the Champions League.
