Barcelona director Guillermo Amor doesn't think Real Madrid were worthy winners of Sunday night's Clasico.
Los Blancos dominated the second half and came out on top with a 2-0 win, but Amor isn't convinced that the scoreline reflected what happened on the pitch.
"They pushed up and they pressed us," Amor said to Movistar after the game.
"Their idea was to stop the game. They pressed and created chances.
"It proved costly for us, but I don't think they deserved the win.
"We were very dominant, they hit us quickly."
Barcelona were second best in the second half but Amor was keen to focus on the positives of the first 45 minutes, which were more evenly contested.
"If we consider the first half then I think it was a very good performance," he added.
"Very good. We had the game under control and had chances, but missed them.
"If you forgive a team like Real Madrid they'll have their chances.
"Once they scored they saw they could win and were encouraged."
It wasn't Lionel Messi's best night at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu but, again, Amor was keen to fight Barcelona's corner.
"He was good," Amor insisted.
"He was great in the first half. He created, played and played.
"But when you lose, everything seems negative.
"We weren't bad though. We had a great first half and were the better team.
"But then things went crazy and we lost control."
