Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos was left "bitter" after their 1-1 draw at Champions League opponents CSKA Moscow.
CSKA struck a last minute equaliser.
"This is a positive result and we'll have the advantage in the return leg, playing for our home crowd. We're happy with our performance, not with the draw," said Ramos.
"We drew the match with a goal here. We must now think about preparing for the return leg to reach the quarterfinals. We have enough time to prepare.""After giving such a serious performance despite the cold and the pitch, the draw leaves a bitter aftertaste. We would have liked to earn a different result, but it was clear Real Madrid deserved to win.
