League not over, says defeated coach Jose

Jose Mourinho refused to make excuses for Real Madrid's humiliating 5-0 defeat to champion Barcelona in the Clasico at Camp Nou on Monday, admitting his 'Galacticos' had been well below-par but dismissed suggestions the margin of victory reflected the difference between the two sides.

"It is a result for one team that played well and punishment for one that played very poorly and we deserved to lose," said Mourinho.

"I don't think you can say the result reflects the difference between the two teams and the championship isn't over today and there is still a lot for us to play for in this league as we are only two points behind."
