  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  The defeat in Madrid means that Ancelotti's side now trails league leaders Barcelona by three points, which could increase further if the Blaugrana avoid a defeat against Real Betis later on Saturday. The Italian coach admitted that his team's chances of defending their title decreased after the defeat against Los Che.

• WHAT CARLO ANCELOTTI SAID

  The veteran manager spoke to reporters after the match and said: "It's much more difficult to fight for the league, but we have only one idea, to do well until the end. We still have a chance. It's less after this game, but we have to fight until the end."
