Real Madrid boss Bernd Schuster admitted he was unhappy with the point earned against Real Mallorca in La Liga on Saturday night, and the German coach knows there will be many more tough matches before the end of the season with Villarreal and Barcelona closing in on Madrid.

"I believe that until the sending off we were comfortably ahead and had control of the game. In the end, we were unfortunately only able to take a point. In any case, at this stage of the season it is important to add points, even though it is only one.

"I could have put in Robinho... but I preferred to put in Diarra. We were not expecting the dismissal of Sergio Ramos, and Miguel Torres was not warming up at that point, so we had to look for a solution while he got ready. Ramos' sending off came as a surprise."
