Real Madrid defender Nacho commented on the crushing defeat from Barcelona (0:4) in the home match of the 29th round of the Spanish Football Championship.

The head coach of “Real” called the culprit in the defeat of “Barcelona”

"It was a very poor performance on our part and, conversely, a very good performance from Barcelona. The result speaks for itself. Perhaps we were too relaxed due to our advantage at the top of the table. We are disappointed because the defeat in The Clasico are always painful but we are still having a great season and I hope we keep the lead in La Liga.

We didn't excel in any aspect of the game. It was one of our worst performances of the season. Everything went wrong from the start. They scored early goals which put us in a difficult position. Losing is so hard on a mental level, considering how much this game means, but now we have to maintain the advantage that we have created for ourselves. We need to pull ourselves together. Of course, we have to congratulate them, but there is still a long way to go, and the path to the trophy is in our hands," Nacho was quoted as saying by the club's official website.

Despite the defeat, "Real" with 66 points retained the lead. Barcelona have moved up to third in the table with 54 points from their fifth win in a row.
