Real Madrid boss Rafa Benitez says players were angry during El Clasico defeat to Barcelona

Real Madrid coach Rafa Benitez says his players were angry at half-time of their crushing defeat to fierce rivals Barcelona on Saturday.
Real were trailing 2-0 at the break via goals from Luis Suarez and Neymar at the Bernabeu. Andres Iniesta and Suarez struck again after the interval to inflict a 4-0 scoreline on Benitez's charges.
Los Blancos trail La Liga leaders Barca by six points following the one-sided Clasico.
"Whenever you lose it's always bad and especially against Barcelona. We've paid for our mistakes. We've made mistakes and against a team like Barca you pay for those dearly," Benitez said at a press conference.
"We wanted to attack and win back the ball high up the field but it didn't come off. We're all responsible for it not going well, now we look for unity in the group and to try and sort this out in the next game.
"Now we have to train hard and work hard to improve. I hope the team can recover quickly. When you lose in this way there is a worry as to how the players will react.
"At half-time they were angry and at the end of the game there was little to say. I won’t talk about a lack of desire in my team."
