MADRID : Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti lamented his side's missed opportunities in their stunning 4-0 home defeat to bitter rivals Barcelona in a LaLiga Clasico on Saturday but said it was not all doom and gloom despite the result."It was an evenly played match, until they scored their first goal.
We played with intensity in the first half but lacked a bit of accuracy. We had chances to take the lead but they scored two goals, which sapped our energy.
That's when another game started," Ancelotti told a press conference of Robert Lewandowski's quick-fire double early in the second-half to set the LaLiga leaders Barca on course for a 4-0 thrashing.Prior to that, the home side had dominated possession and missed various chances, mainly through off-form Kylian Mbappe.
Lamine Yamal and Raphinha wrapped Barca's win later."We are hurt, it's a tough moment, but I want to thank the fans for their support.
