Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso said his team are arriving at Sunday’s La Liga Clasico in better shape after correcting mistakes made in their derby thrashing by Atletico Madrid.
Los Blancos suffered a humiliating 5-2 beating by rivals Atletico in their only defeat of the season after 12 games across all competition.
Alonso side hold a two-point lead on Barcelona at the top of the table as they prepare to host the champions this weekend at the Santiago Bernabeu.
“Without doubt a few weeks have passed in which we have been correcting things, doing things better,” Alonso told a news conference Saturday.
“For tomorrow, we are arriving in a good moment, both in terms of morale, in a footballing sense, our competitive level – it’s a good moment.”
