Paco Jemez has revealed that a number of his Rayo Vallecano players were in tears following Sunday's 10-2 defeat at Real Madrid.
Rayo actually led 2-1 for a stage of the La Liga clash at the Bernabeu, but they fell to a heavy defeat as a consequence of having two players sent off in the first period.
Jemez has said that it has been a while since he saw "something so grotesque and shameful", and also admitted that some of his squad could not hold in their emotions in the dressing room after the match.
"It's been a long time since I saw something so grotesque and shameful as what I did today. We lost everything, plus a lot of credibility. We feel downtrodden and humiliated and what happened hurts us all," Jemez told reporters after the match.
"When you see guys built like castles in the dressing room crying, you feel sorry for them. There was little to explain, I could only console them. The damage will be felt for the whole week.
"I imagine the fans of Madrid will be very happy, but this should not happen in the best league in the world, neither here nor anywhere. I found the game strange at times. I thought it was a dream, but it wasn't. It was real."
Sunday's clash was the first time since 1969 that a team had scored 10 times in a single La Liga match.
