If there is any final you have to lose, we prefer to choose this one,\u201d Modric said in the mixed zone after the defeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s a complicated defeat. Barcelona were better and we have to congratulate them. For us it&#8217;s good that there&#8217;s another game coming up very soon in the Copa del Rey and we don&#8217;t have much time to regret it. We have to correct what we have done wrong, forget about it and continue because there is still a long season ahead,\u201d he commented. \u201cIt&#8217;s not nice when your biggest rival scores nine goals in two games,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, Modric did not want to say anything about Ancelotti&#8217;s approach: \u201cWe have to work now and correct our mistakes.
