“We’re angry with everything but mainly with the way we lost because the little details and the big moments went against us,” said Merino.

“I was at least five meters from Courtois when I was flagged offside. I don’t know if the same thing would have happened had it been in the other area but the flag went up and we feel that we have been wronged,” he added.

But, Madrid midfielder Federico Velverde claims that his team deserves the three points.

“In my opinion, we were the superior team against a very tough opponent, we knew how to cope with them and how to hold on to our lead,” said Velverde.
