Real Madrid surprisingly lost to Valencia but Sergio Ramos has hit back at the notion that his side were not committed enough.
Sergio Ramos has rejected the suggestion that Real Madrid were punished for a poor attitude in their 2-1 defeat to Valencia on Wednesday.
Goal from Simone Zaza and Fabian Orellana in the first nine minutes were enough to give the home side all three points at Mestalla, despite Cristiano Ronaldo having halved the deficit shortly before the interval.
It was the first time in nearly 14 years that Madrid conceded twice in the first 10 minutes of a league game, while they managed only one shot on target in the second half despite enjoying nearly 72 per cent of the possession.
