Real Madrid FC2013-05-18 12:30 Albiol: “We did enough to win and had bad luck with hitting the posts”
Raúl Albiol analysed the Copa del Rey final in the mixed zone: “We did enough to win and had very bad luck with hitting the posts. It is obvious that we had clear scoring opportunities and if we had taken them everything would have been different. In the second half we played better, we had chances and we have not taken them. Atlético have played their way”.

Diego Lopez regretted the team's bad luck in a game where they weren't inferior to Atletico de Madrid. “We were unlucky today. We hit the post three times and had clear opportunities at goal; eight or nine times out of ten our playing today would be enough to win”. The keeper also acknowledged the fans: “As always, we'd like to thank them for their support”.
Real Madrid FC2013-05-18 12:30 Sergio Ramos: “We made four or five clear chances but we didn't take advantage”
Sergio Ramos spoke just after the the final against Atlético Madrid finished. The defender explained his view of the match: “You have to congratulate our rivals, who won fairly. Perhaps after the first goal we relaxed and pulled back a bit. We made four or five clear chances but we didn't take advantage. If we had done that we wouldn't be here regretting the loss or speaking about it. That is the truth and it must be taken on board. It was a pity we couldn't raise this trophy for the fans.
Real Madrid FC2013-05-18 12:30 Mourinho: "It is not a fair result, but that’s the way it is"
Jose Mourinho spoke to the media after the cup final. The Whites’ coach was disappointed that his team could not win the title despite having numerous chances: "When the score was 1-1 and you hit the post three times you do not need to be a footballing genius to realise that it is not normal. If at least one of those three shots had gone in we’d have won the match. I think we should have won the match inside 90 minutes, but we did not manage that and then they scored in extra time, we had two clear chances for Higuain and Ozil. It is not the result we deserved, but that’s the way it is. In football everything is forgotten about, refereeing, hitting the post ... The history books will remember the winner and that is Atletico".
