Real Madrid controlled the contest against BATE literally from whistle to whistle and racked up some 20 shots at the opposition goal in total but only registered a 2-0 win.
While the three points never really looked in danger, Los Blanco were unable to secure a bigger margin of victory. And coach, Schuster was a little disappointed not to have witnessed a goal feast at the Bernabéu, especially in the first half.
“After taking a 1-0 lead and seeing that our rivals could not respond, I believe we slowed down a little,” he analysed during the post-match conference.
“That is always dangerous because any silly mistakes and things could have been very complicated for us. Perhaps a second or third goal was needed.
“But the win is good. It is something that we needed today, although we should have scored more goals. I was waiting for more in the first half,” he added, before going on to joke that he has not been angry at all today.
The German then concluded by saying that he is not at all worried by Guti and Rafa van der Vaart’s lack of understanding on the pitch, while he also praised Gonzalo Higuaín for his excellent start to the season.
