Real Madrid keeper Courtois on Barcelona defeat: You need to score to win

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois had a pop at their attacking players after defeat to Barcelona.

The Belgian goalkeeper spoke after the 1-0 defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu.

“To win games you have to score goals and we didn't manage that in the two games against Barcelona," said the ex Chelsea stopper.

“We lacked accuracy in the final pass and shots and they saved themselves from clear chances, the ball didn't want to go in."

For Courtois, Madrid were not inferior in either game.

“In both games we were at the same level as them or even better. If you don't score you end up losing, because they didn't miss."
