Marcelo believes things could have gone differently,”We’ve done everything we could to win and even draw with a player less, but we conceded a goal at the end.

Barcelona drew level at the top of the league with Madrid last night and have overtaken them on the head-to-head basis.

Lionel Messi scored two minutes into injury time to seal a 3-2 victory in an action packed match.

We did a great job and we go away with our heads held high. We’re well placed in two competitions and we’ll keep working as we were before. This defeat does not make us inferior.

“In the end, some mistakes and small details have made the difference, not just the counter-attack. I don’t give my opinion on referees, although a sending off affects a team because it leaves you with one less player.

“We don’t get carried away when we win and we won’t get down after a defeat.”
