Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has taken the blame for his side's loss to Atletico Madrid in the Madrid derby on Sunday night.
Los Blancos' perfect start to the LaLiga season came to an end at the hands of their cross-town rivals after losing 3-1.

Former Real striker Alvaro Morata bagged two goals on the night, while former Barcelona star Antoine Griezmann got the other goal for Diego Simeone's charges.
"We didn't start well or defend well. When they went 2-0 up, they played the game they wanted to. Atleti did better than us in this sense", as per reports from Diario AS.
"I think the system was not a problem, but rather defensive fragility. We were not compact and they took advantage of it.
"When the team doesn't do what it has to do, it's my responsibility. I shoulder that, it's my fault."
Morata, meanwhile, says he feels more important at the club this campaign after moving on to five goals in LaLiga this term.
"What I need is to feel important and this year I feel more important than others.
"I hope we continue winning because I really want to win a title with Atletico", as per an interview with DAZN, via Marca.
