Real Madrid's Marcelo: Levante loss could cost us the title
Posted Tuesday, September 20, 2011 by YAHOO Sport
Real Madrid defender Marcelo has expressed frustration with his side's 1-0 loss against Levante on Sunday, as he feels the club's surprising defeat could eventually cost it the title.
"We really shouldn't be spilling points against teams like Levante. The worst things is that the three points we lost on Sunday could prove to be decisive at the end of the season," Marcelo said to AS.
The Spanish giants left Estadio Ciutat de Valencia empty handed following a single Aroune Kone goal, and the Brazilian left-back has suggested that Madrid cannot afford to lose against teams like Levante if it is to win La Liga.
"Losing these kinds of games hurts our ambitions a lot, because you expect to pick up the full three points against them. However, as we all saw on Sunday, anything can happen in the matches against the so-called smaller teams."
Real Madrid will be eager to bounce back from its loss when it takes on Racing Santander on Wednesday evening.
