Jose Mourinho: 'Getafe deserved to win against Real Madrid'

Mourinho slams Real Madrid players

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has slammed his players following their defeat to Getafe in La Liga on Sunday.

The defending Spanish champions went down 2-1 at Coliseum Alfonso Perez despite taking the lead through Gonzalo Higuain after 28 minutes.

"It was a deserved win for Getafe," admitted the Portuguese. "My players told me the second goal was a handball by Colunga but I don't care.

"Getafe's win was deserved but it was nothing from another world. Real Madrid were bad.

"It was an unacceptable game and, from what I had been analysing, I was not surprised. We totally deserved the defeat."

Mourinho continued to express his disappointment at his players' performance against Getafe in the Madrid derby.

"It was a horrible game," he said. "I have not discussed anything with the players - they have no feedback about what I think.

"I do not want to speak with them. The only conclusion that I want is that they realise that it was more a deserved defeat for Real Madrid than a deserved win for Getafe."

Madrid are now five points behind Barcelona, who won 2-1 against Osasuna away from home on Sunday.
