The sporting department, led by director Deco, has identified two priorities for the summer - a new left-footed centre-back and a new top-quality centre-forward.

"Madrid has played badly but has also suffered the consequences of a shameful refereeing. We're lucky to have many replays, and in every one you can see that the play is a clear penalty. A double penalty, even, because Victor Reis also tripped him with his leg."

"I think we can come back. I trust because we have Lamine Yamal, so I trust to turn it around."

Victor Munoz has made a significant impact in La Liga this season, earning his debut for the Spanish national team, which has drawn attention from FC Barcelona.

I don't care about these things, it's this business, there's a lot of noise between us, but that's what I tell the team, we have to focus on ourselves and not on what Real Madrid does, we are in a good position and we have to win every game and only think about ourselves.

We consider this match important because it's a derby, because they are our eternal rivals, and because we are convinced we can win. I'm focused on what we want. What they think doesn't worry me too much.

Barcelona's formal complaint about the handball incident reflects the frustration of fans when a match's outcome relies on a referee's interpretation of a player's intent rather than clear rules.
