Espanyol coach Mauricio Pochettino has claimed his side were unlucky to lose against Real Madrid, but is nevertheless encouraged by the performance.
Speaking at the post-match press conference, Pochettino said, "We knew the only way they would score was from something like a set piece. It was the only way to unsettle us.
"The game changed after Guti's goal. We tried to play football and had chances, but the game was decided by a set piece."
The loss means that Espanyol's future looks increasingly bleak, but Pochettino was having none of the doom and gloom.
"I am convinced that we will do well [for the rest of the season]," he added, despite the fact his side remain entrenched in the relegation zone.
