Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas was adamant that his side deserved a draw in El Clasico following their 1-0 defeat to Barcelona at Camp Nou.

Casillas said his side had chances in the first half but admitted that Zlatan Ibrahimovic's finish for the only goal of the game was one of real quality.

"We had many chances, especially from Cristiano Ronaldo in the first half but we lacked the finish. The result is unfair. We deserved the draw," he told Canal +.

"They, in turn, took advantage of their own chance, with a finish of high quality from [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic."

The goalkeeper was not consoled by Madrid's performance, saying afterwards that the result was what mattered and says that now Barcelona are the team back in the driving seat in the Primera Liga title race.

"What I care about is winning games but now they are the ones who look at us in the rearview mirror," he added.
