Sergio Ramos offers no Real Madrid excuses

Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos offered no excuses after their thrashing at Real Sociedad.

Real Madrid blew a 2-0 lead to lose 4-2 at Real Sociedad yesterday.

Ramos said: "We controlled the match for the first thirty minutes and we had chances to put it to bed but we didn't manage it. We gave them chances to come back and eventually it got away from us.

"La Liga is very long and we've only just started. We have to aim for what we did in the first 15 minutes, the rest cannot happen again. It is not a lack of attitude, we just didn't finish it off. You have to look for the silver lining. We were hoping to put the match to bed. Real Sociedad managed to pick themselves up and handle the tempo. They should be congratulated."
