Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon accepted that his team were beaten by a far superior Roma last night.

A matter-of-fact Calderon commented: "It certainly is a failure, that cannot be denied, but it is the fourth year this has happened, it is not something new."

"It is true that we had no major players, but a big team cannot complain about injuries, or referees, or bad luck ... Here we've played better and lost, and we've played worse here and also lost."

"I am disappointed and disillusioned, but what we have to do is recover for the League."
