coach

Julen Lopetegui

last weekend which saw him get dismissed from the pitch, the 56-year-old had to watch the competition from the stands. Lopetegui did not take it well when Getafe centre-back

Djene

caused an injury to Sevilla’s Lucas Ocampos which led to a commotion.

“

It’s affected us a lot,

” Bordalas said about incident happened in the clash against Sevilla. “

The boys were afraid of hurting the rival. Djene was summoned and we didn’t know what the sanction was until noon. They were killing him on social media, it was as if he’d committed a crime.

“We expected more support from more people and our own club, to defend the boy and the team. We’ve had an impeccable attitude for several years now, but after four successful years it’s time for a year like this. We have to suffer and be aware of what we are, this happens to all the big clubs. Less good seasons follow good seasons, but the season remains and we work to improve.”

No goals were scored in the first half of the game. Madrid had domination over the ball and what they lacked was an incision, with
