Real Madrid suffered the ignominy of yet another defeat at the Allianz Arena but the Spanish gloves man was happy with Mesut Ozil’s second half away goal.
Jose Mourinho’s charges went to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 in search of a solitary win against Bayern Munich at their home but returned empty handed like their predecessors, losing the UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg 2-1.
Real Madrid have now failed to win at the Allianz Arena in ten attempts, with an unimpressive statistic of 9 losses and 1 draw.
Franck Ribery and Mario Gomez scored for the German outfit, while Mesut Ozil got his name on the score sheet in the second half for Real Madrid.
Reflecting on the match, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Casillas-c16815 admitted that the players have failed to get what they set off for from the Bernabeu but should be content with the away goal against a quality opposition like Bayern Munich.
He added that Los Blancos should have made the most of the chances they created, especially in the second half.
"We managed to create a few more chances in the second half but ultimately they have scored at the end, so everything will now be decided in Madrid," La Roja captain noted.
"We have scored away and that's important. But we must remember that Bayern have good players."
The second leg of the semi-final fixture is scheduled for April 25, and Real Madrid will need to make the away goal count with a positive result at home.
However, the Spanish outfit do not have time to relax with the crunch La Liga fixture with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 coming over the weekend.
Real Madrid have a 4-point advantage over their arch-rivals in the domestic competition with five matches remaining until the end of the season.
Casillas believes El Clasico will be an important match but refused to call it decisive in the title race.
"In Barcelona we will try to win and do our best to look after our own interests," the experienced shot-stopper remarked. "It will be an important game for both teams, but not decisive."
The Camp Nou fixture will take place on April 21 and will kick off at 20 00 Central European Time.
