"When you lose, you don't have much time for analysis, I am not looking for excuses as this is a difficult moment," he added.

Real's problems were not helped by the dismissals of defender Sergio Ramos and striker Julio Baptista.

Luxemburgo added: "There were opportunities but they defended well and their goalkeeper pulled off a series of great saves.
