Mesut Ozil accepted being hooked during Real Madrid's humiliation at Barcelona.

The German midfielder says he understood coach Jose Mourinho's decision to substitute him.

"I'm fine. Mourinho was trying to prove things. I have full confidence in our coach," he said.

"I've never lost an important game like that. This defeat hurts. We conceded two goals too early but never gave up."
