Joan Pennaroya confirmed that the result wasn't the only reason Barcelona should worry about from last night's game, as Raul Neto suffered an injury just four minutes into his Barcelona debut.
"Neto has hurt his abductor and has not been able to play anymore", said Penarroya after the game.
"After Juan Nunez’s fifth foul, we need him. Now we’ll see what the tests say, let’s hope it’s not too bad."
Pennaroya also commented on the game itself, which saw Barca fall down to 7-5 score in the EuroLeague:
"Losing at home and losing against a rival like Real Madrid and how we lost… We reached the end of the match in an advantageous position and for it to slip away like this."
"The team is hurt. It is still a game like the previous eleven, but a "Clasico" is a "Clasico" and it hurts a lot not to be able to offer victory to our fans," Pennaroya concluded.
