Rijkaard Optimistic After "Tough Loss" To Madrid

Frank Rijkaard is finding Saturday's loss to Madrid a little tough to swollow.

"This was a tough loss for us because it was a very important game. But we are professionals and we do not surrender. If we continue to work hard then the positive results will come our way," he told the media.

He feels that Barca deserved a better result.

"We created much more chances than Madrid did, so logically we deserved to win. But football is a funny game and sometimes creating more chances doesn't guarantee you points."
