Julen Lopetegui Claims Real Madrid 'Were Much Better' Than Atletico Despite Derby Draw

Addressing the media after Real Madrid's 0-0 draw with city rivals Atletico, Julen Lopetegui chose to look at the positives of his side's performance.

SPORT relay the comments of Real's coach, and why he thought Los Blancos deserved more from the game: "We didn’t win the game simply because we didn’t manage to score, but overall, I think that we were by far the better side, particularly in the second half, in which we created several chances.
