UPDATE: Ancelotti apologises for Real Madrid’s ’embarassing’ 4-2 defeat at Girona
“The match was bad in defense. And that was the key, because we did well on the ball, especially at the beginning.
“But we were not convincing in the duels, we were caught in two counter-attacks, and from there, everything became more difficult.
“I understand that the fans are hurt, we apologize.
“We are also hurt. But the fans know that we will be fine in the cup final, as well as in the semi-final (against City).
“It’s harder to say today, but this match does not represent Madrid. We apologize, but we must look ahead.”
