Gago and Marcelo got debut.

Two new signings of Real Madrid Fernando Gago and Marcelo have their debut against Deportivo La Coruna yesterday.

Guti injured.

The playmaker has a sprain on his right anckle.

Guti had to leave the pitch soon after the start of the match due to twisting his anckle in a confrontational play with a Deportivo defender. The medical exam after the match revealed he has a sprain on his right anckle. On Monday, a more detailed analysis will be made at Valdebebas to determine the estimated time for his recovery.

Raúl: "We did nothing right".

Real Madrid's captain talked to the press after the match and made no excuses, saying that the players were responsible for the defeat.

"We always suffer when we don't have control of the ball and today has been very similar to the match against Recreativo Huelva in that respect. Deportivo proved to be dangerous in counterattacks and we never managed to have solid chances on goal."

"Right now we must rest and tomorrow we must talk about what happened tonight. We all tried hard but we did nothing right. We must talk about what we must improve at."

"We make no excuses. We simply haven't played well. We are responsible for this bad image. This shouldn't happen again. We had a chance to get closer to Barcelona and Sevilla, but we didn't use it correctly."

"I expect fans to be bitterly disappointed. We must try to win by playing well. This hasn't been Gago and Marcelo's ideal debut, but they're great players. I'm sure they will do great things for Real Madrid."
