Sergio Ramos' had some strong words to say after his disallowed goal in Valladolid this evening. The Andalusian defender said that referees "have harmed Madrid in more than one match now."

The goal that wasn't: "It was a goal and it annoys me that they ruled it offside, even though in the end we got the three points. With another result the consequences would be very different. They've harmed us in more than one match now. It's about time they make a mistake in our favour."

Barcelona: "The distance between us and the leaders is a big. Any slip would make things impossible and we wouldn't like that to be down to the officials."

Bad defending from dead balls: "It's undeniable that we've got some improving to do here. We messed up, especially in the first half. We're not going to cover up our mistakes; but just as if we get something wrong we recognise it, the referees have to do the same."

Less strength in defence compared to last season: "You can't compare the team from one year to another. There's still a lot of the season to go and we have to improve and make the 'Madridistas' proud of their team."
