Real Madrid defender Pepe says they can be proud of their performance despite Copa elimination at Barcelona.
Barca scraped into the Copa semis with a 4-3 aggregate win over Real Madrid despite letting a two-goal lead slip in a 2-2 second-leg draw at the Nou Camp on Wednesday night.
"We had a great sense of sacrifice and feel proud because we proved we are a united group of players and played better than Barcelona. I defend my team and we'll make Madridistas proud. The fans must feel proud of the players. We'll fight to earn that," said Pepe.
