Real Madrid clinched a point against Betis at the Santiago Bernabéu which Ramos summed up as follows: “We knew today was a big chance to go top and it did not work out. The team battled hard for the win from the first minute. We couldn’t finish our chances but our attitude and defensive work were both great. Betis are a team that want to keep the ball and it is hard to win these days. Getting a point is bittersweet. It is good to get something but this was a chance to go top”.
“You cannot go for 90 minutes at the same pace. From the first minute we were intense, pressing high, getting the ball and keeping possession. After that we took a step back, we could not get a goal and there were moments of play decided by VAR which we can’t dwell on because it’s pointless. There was contact made with his hand, but the ref decides”.

“It is getting harder and harder to beat any rival. Today Levante won against Barcelona and that shows you cannot take any game for granted regardless of the opposition”.
“That competition makes our league the best in the world and we feel fortunate to play here. We have to try and do the best we can because the slightest mistake can send you dropping down the table”.
