Real Madrid falls to Barcelona in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals
The second leg will take place on April 5th at Camp Nou to determine who advances to the final.
Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois expressed his disappointment after the 1-0 defeat against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey semi-finals. He believed that they played a good game but weren't able to score.
"We dominated the match, they defended heavily and tried to protect their goal. We conceded a goal with a lot of bad luck. They were winning when they probably didn't deserve to," said Courtois to Spanish public television.
"We struggled to create chances and shoot on target. We played well in terms of control, but couldn't score," lamented Courtois.
"They defended very well. They are a team that doesn't concede many goals. Today, we couldn't find that final pass, they defended well, and it's their credit," added the Real Madrid goalkeeper. AFP
