Real Madrid midfielder Isco has rued his side’s bad luck after the 2-2 draw with Valencia all but ended their hopes of winning La Liga.

Los Blancos came from 2-0 down to take a point at the Santiago Bernabeu, but know it could have been all three on a different day. They hit the woodwork three times, while Cristiano Ronaldo also saw his penalty saved by Valencia’s Diego Alves, who had an outstanding game for the visitors.

Speak to the press port-match, Isco said luck wasn’t on Real’s side on the day, but the players can take heart from the fight shown.

“We couldn’t do anything more. Hitting the woodwork three times, a missed penalty, the team’s attitude in the second half…What happened to us today does not happen often in football. We had quite a lot of bad luck but Madrid had to fight until the end.

“We had a great performance in the second half to turn the 0-2 around. We were able to but Diego Alves was incredible. It is a step back and a shame that the goal wasn’t able to get the three points,” he commented.

Speaking about the crucial match against Juventus on Wednesday, Isco stated: “The semi-final is open and we cannot slip up at the Santiago Bernabéu. We need the fans. It is a crucial game and we cannot miss out on this chance at home.”
