Xabi Alonso offered his thoughts on Real Madrid's defeat prior to leaving the pitch for the dressing room.
"Barcelona were the better team in all facets and we must look back to understand the mistakes we made. Their two early goals made things a lot easier for them and much more complicated for us. We did not expect thins, but there is still a lot of season left and nothing has finished. We are not happy, but we shouldn’t jump to conclusions. We must only look towards the future."

Jorge Valdano commended Barcelona for their win on Monday shortly after the match concluded.
"When you concede two quick goals you lose hope of equalizing. The team was uncomfortable on the pitch, but it didn't make the difference. Few points separate us. We were uncomfortable against an opponent that enjoyed playing from the very start. Hats off to Barcelona. We hope we are able to provide a similar show in the return leg."
"We arrived here with the most goals scored and the fewest conceded, meaning that we had played flawlessly. This match will help us understand top fight football and continue maturing. Madrid is a team for men and matches such as this one test manliness. We will know how to overcome this situation."
"The outcome of a match does not depend on intensity. It depends on many variables and Barcelona knew how to manage them. The coach couldn't have made any major corrections and today he barely got off the bench. We didn't expect such a large margin of defeat and we are very disappointed."
