Victor Valdes thinks there is a considerable difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid
After a shocking loss against Getafe, Victor Valdes has shown his disappointment at the result.
Barcelona are often considered to be not only the best team in the world but in the history of the game. However, despite that tag, they have managed to lose their first game of La Liga against Getafe while being away from home.
After the loss, Barcelona have allowed Real Madrid to have the upper hand in the league as Los Blancos are now six points above the Spanish Champions.
The Catalan shot-stopper, Victor Valdes, has claimed that after the loss against Getafe, Real Madrid have gained a higher ground and it is going to be hard to catch them in the league.
He believes that Barcelona are now in a very tight position as they have to win almost all the games in order to take the game to Real Madrid.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Juan-Valera-c19847 scored a second half winner for Getafe and he is the reason why Barcelona managed to suffer their first defeat of the season.
The Spanish Champions were unlucky in front of goal and Getafe also managed to defend very well in order to deny Barcelona a chance to score a goal in order to take at least one point.
Real Madrid won their weekend fixture 4-1 against their local city rivals Atletico Madrid. The win in the derby game takes them six points clear of the second choice http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604.
Victor Valdes has admitted the fact that with six points behind Madrid, Barcelona have a lot to do in order to take back the top spot in the league. He said:
"This is the first defeat of the season, and we did not expect it.”
Valdes spoke about the team’s philosophy before the game. He was quoted saying:
"We knew we had to win here and that did not happen.”
While talking about Real Madrid’s run in the league, he said:
"There are many matches left. Madrid are on a good run and they are getting victories. We have to continue and raise our heads because we have two matches coming up.
Barcelona will now have to face Rayo Vallecano. It is a good opportunity for Josep Guardiola’s men to get back on their feet and take all three points in order to try and cut the gap between Madrid and themselves.
