“We had chances, the penalty… It gives us the feeling of a competitive team in big games.
“It was the tension of an important match and a close result.
“We didn’t concede too many chances, and I interpret that as normal. We should not overemphasise those tense moments. Everything has happened in the Clasicos, and we have another game on Saturday.”
