Real Madrid keeper Casillas: An absurd goal to concede

Real Madrid captain Iker Casillas admits he fluffed on Saturday in conceding against Atletico Madrid.

Real in the end over-ran Atleti to win the Champions League final 4-1.

"The goal we conceded was an absurd goal. It brought us down a bit, because as a team you feel very responsible for it, and you see that the team, as much as you want them to, doesn't respond. But that's football, and in the 90th minute, in injury time [Madrid equalised]. In the end, the [equaliser] was a fair result, and it took us into extra time. Real were hurting physically in that extra time, but I also think we were superior to Atlético Madrid. In the end [we] are the deserved winners of this European trophy."
