"Today was a game after the game at Anfield, which is now behind us. We wanted to play our game, and today it was also a bit difficult to get it where we wanted it to be. I don't attribute that to emotional peaks. We want to be very stable in our preparation and in our mentality, because we know that La Liga is a game-by-game competition, and today we couldn't win."
"The season is long, and as you said, the demands are high, but we live with that and prepare for it. This is Real Madrid, we all know where we are and what we want, and at this point in time, we're still in November, there's a long way to go, so we have to be demanding of ourselves and also measured."
Real Madrid drew 0-0 away to Rayo Vallecano after producing an xG of 0.82 versus Vallecano's 1.19. The result followed Madrid's midweek European loss to Liverpool at Anfield. The match saw numerous transitions and a chaotic second half, with limited chance creation and an underwhelming attacking performance. The club emphasizes the long season and high demands, stressing the need for balance, stability in preparation and mentality, and a game-by-game approach in LaLiga. The team rejects attributing the performance to emotional after-effects of the Liverpool defeat and plans to remain measured and demanding of itself.
