Real Madrid GM Jorge Valdano insists they're not five goals worse than Barcelona.
Barca rattled five goals past Real at the Nou Camp last night.
"We have good players and a great coach, so this is not a fatal blow," said Valdano.
"Barcelona were superb, playing consistently and with confidence from the start. They scored with their first chance and we found it tough to overcome that.
"On the bad side we encountered a Barcelona team that were greatly superior: on the good side, we only lost three points. Now we hope to recover."
