Luck Is Not With US - Queiroz

Real Madrid manager Carlos Queiroz has attributed Real Madrid's poor run of form to bad luck.

"Murcia won a non-existant penalty kick against us. People make mistakes, but this one turned out to hurt us dearly in the end because we lost by a goal," he said.

"We are upset and frustrated with out play recently. Our hardwork is not paying off. We know we are far better than Murcia, but sometimes you need luck on your side. It's quite clear that luck is not with us," he added.

Real Madrid currently sit in third spot with just won game remaining. At the start of the season, they were the odds-on favorites to win the league title.
