“Set pieces are what we concede the most goals from,” Alonso told the media.
“I think it could have been avoided today. They pressed us a lot.”
“They have skilled forwards in executing set pieces and finishing them. They created a lot of chances because we made a lot of mistakes.”
The defeat is Madrid’s first in the Champions League this season, after winning their first three fixtures.
