League leaders Los Blancos had won all their previous games this season but were outplayed by Diego Simeone's side at the Metropolitano stadium. "We didn't play well as a team, or in pressing, we were not at the level that we should be," Alonso told reporters.
"We're in a construction phase, today was our first loss and we have to draw conclusions from what happened, but there are no excuses, we're hurting, it's a derby and a deserved defeat."
Alonso said his team were not combative enough against the Rojiblancos, who played with intensity and attacked relentlessly.
"We lacked that intensity... we didn't compete well enough today, not at the level that these games need," continued Alonso. "We're not happy, but we can't forget what we were doing before, what we were doing well.
