Atletico Madrid midfielder Mario Suarez has admitted that his side need to "move on" from their 2-0 loss to Real Madrid in the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final on Tuesday.

The loss was Atletico's third defeat in under a week, but the Spaniard has insisted that the capital outfit cannot afford to dwell on it.

"Defeat hurts against any opponent," Suarez told reporters at a press conference.

"We've been kept out of a final we wanted to play. With two penalties in 15 minutes the game was made very difficult.

"But we have to forget it and move on to Valladolid, which we think is a very important game."

Suarez recently returned from a long-term injury.
