Aitor Karanka justifies himself for his squad defeat
After his squad's defeat by Nastic in the Royal Cup the Real Madrid defender, Àitor Karanka, said that the players seem to be blamed for it. But he thinks that there is no need to lay it on thick. As a matter of fact, it was Karanka himself who helped Nastic to make the sensation by scoring into his own goals.

"Two months ago we played against Athletic and it was not that bad. But after this defeat we became the scapegoats. Nobody likes to loose."
Karanka's personal affairs are also not that good. After having been injured he didn't manage to be included in Real Madrid line-up.
"When a player suffers an injury it's not easy for him to come back to the squad again. In connection with this match I must say that Nastic were rather strong opponents."
Karanka didn't feel like expressing his point of view about who would play in the return leg match at Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday - the line-up or the reserve.
