Barcelona lost 2-1 at relegation-threatened Deportivo La Coruna in its first match after its amazing win over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, and Madrid took advantage with a come-from-behind 2-1 win over Real Betis, despite an own-goal by Navas. "It's part of the game, everyone makes mistakes," Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said of Navas. "We knew that they were coming off an intense game in the Champions League and I think it showed," La Coruna midfielder Alex Bergantinos said. Barcelona coach Luis Enrique didn't start Rafinha, Samuel Umtiti and Neymar, who was decisive on Wednesday with two goals and two assists. "Only those who went through what we went through this week can understand what it meant," Luis Enrique said.
