Emilio Butragueno Defends Real Madrid After Shock Real Sociedad Loss

Emilio Butragueno defended Real Madrid's squad and deflected questions about making more signings during the January transfer window after Sunday's shock 2-0 defeat at home to Real Sociedad in La Liga.

Butragueno, the club's director of institutional relations, spoke to AS and lauded the quality still in Los Blancos' ranks when asked about the possibility of incomings this winter:

"This squad has players with loads of talent and I think that it is a good day to reinforce that message. They have won many titles. The Club World Cup like nothing, three consecutive Champions Leagues.
