Javier Aguirre spoke of the secret that gave him the victory over Real Madrid
Javier Aguirre's Mallorca defeated Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid by the narrowest of margins. The Mexican coach's team achieved the feat thanks to an own goal by Nacho. As a result, the 'Vasco's' team moved up to tenth position to fight for European places against Andrés Guardado's Betis, which is 3 points ahead of them.
Contrary to what many thought, the Mexican coach was self-critical about the result. For Javier Aguirre, the 1-0 scoreline is misleading, as fortune can be a factor in determining a win or a loss. Aguirre also felt that his team's attack suffered from some deficiencies.
