Courtois: It was not our best day and we conceded too many silly goals
Real Madrid goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, says they conceded silly goals after a 3-2 loss at Rayo Vallecano on Monday night.
After their surprising 3-2 defeat against Rayo Vallecano on Monday,
Real Madridlost the top spot in La Liga and now is two points behind Barcelona.
"Rayo are having a great season, we knew it was going to be difficult, and we weren't up to the task in the first half,"
Courtoissaid.
"We conceded too many silly goals, due to mistakes or not being 100 per cent in the match.
"Then the penalty, bad luck. The referee told me that because of Carvajal, that's what they told him in the VAR, that he gets into the area earlier.
"Then I wanted to stay in the centre, but I threw myself and I had a better corner than the one I stopped. It's a shame, I saved the penalty and in the end everything changes. I hope it's our only defeat in LaLiga.
"With so many games, it may be normal that we are tired. The draw against Girona was more bad luck. Today was not our best day and Rayo played well."
After the game, Real Madrid forward Lucas Vazquez criticised the VAR and officials and claimed that they have not been consistent in their decisions this season..
"It was a complicated game, they got ahead very quickly, and although we turned it around, they equalised again and that hurt us,"
Vazquez said.
"It was difficult for us to find our football, and Rayo is a complicated team that today has been very good.
"But they [the referee and the VAR] send Trejo to shoot again and in other games they don't, they should always be just as rigorous."
