Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois insists their LaLiga title defence isn’t over after defeat to Levante.
Courtois says the dismissal of Eder Militao changed the game.
“The red card after seven minutes made it difficult. We dug deep and went 1-0 up, they equalised but we kept fighting and in the end it was a real shame to concede the second goal,” he said.
“They play good football and when they were in possession we found it difficult to get the ball off them. In the final third we lacked the killer ball to create a chance. And we only played one minute of the four minutes of added time.”
Courtois also said, “We always have to fight, LaLiga goes on until May, but they keep winning and stay at the top. We have to look for a reaction, win our games and make sure the others lose. We had to fight today, we went down to 10 men from the seventh minute and in the end that make football difficult.
“Levante are on a good run, they play good football and always make it difficult, and if you’re playing with ten men it makes it even more difficult.”
