Real Madrid boss Ramos: We could've won
Real Madrid boss Juande Ramos insists he saw a lot of positives from last night's 2-0 defeat at Barcelona.
Samuel Eto'o and Lionel Messi struck for Barca in a game which struggled to light the blue touch paper.
But Ramos insisted at the final whistle: "It was a game with both teams working hard. Barca had the territorial domination, but the clear chances were ours.
"We've done what we could. We had significant injuries and those who were left have played to perfection. We had chances to win.
"I leave the Nou Camp happy, we fought with pride and generosity. We had our chances and football is about goals. They have seized their opportunities and have scored two from the few chances they had."
On their 12 point gap with Barca, Ramos added: "There is a big difference, but much time remains. We will have to wait for the second round, when the Champions League restarts, to see if some other teams go up and down."

We would have won, (Ramos),then what happend,hw can u win whn u did nt play wel, Up barca..bt i luv Arsenal.
All things considered, Barca kinda sucked.
To be honest, a Real Madrid with NO SQUAD, through injuries or otherwise should not be able to hold out against a Barca that has been setting stadiums ablaze all season long.
I'm not saying Real are going to cause an upset, but it was a defiantly optimistic display from Los Merengues.
Expect a resurgence.
And that kid, Palanca, looks good. Barca should have won by manita, but the fact they only managed 2 and very late in the game, says a lot. I was in all honesty, impressed by Real and disappointed by Barca, as I had predicted a colorful smashing.
For once, I must say, Hala Madrid. For a team in such low morale and with little players to select from, it was a good performance. Shame it all came undone in the '83rd.
Ramos had Messi in his pocket, but nice to see Messi breakaway for his '90th minute stunner.
It wasn't an excellent Clasico, nothing like the same fixture last season.
I'd like to see Real rise from the ashes and cause a little trouble, Barca are fantastic, but for the sake of good football, who wants to see a landslide?
Nice to see Barca getting a taste of victory over the usually-dominant White Giants.
Anti-football Madrid style is bad for the game, great to see real football dominating Spain again.
