Benzema urges Real Madrid not to dwell on El Clasico defeat

Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema admits they must not dwell on their El Clasico defeat to Barcelona.

Real meet Sevilla tomorrow night after surrounding the La Liga leadership.

Benzema told the club's official website: "We're disappointed with the result. We scored three goals and had control of the game.

"When Barcelona don't have it, it is very difficult for them and we played a great game. Barcelona always have possession and we adapted our game against that team and we were doing well.

"I scored two goals but it doesn't matter, the important thing is the result.

"I do not know if it was a penalty from Sergio on Neymar and after the red it is very difficult playing against 11 men.

"It was a night with a lot of key moments and now we'll try and beat Sevilla. At this point in the season the matches are all finals and we know that Atletico take on Barcelona on the final day, so we have to think about ourselves in order to win."
