Galatasaray midfielder Felipe Melo says that he was "upset and sad" following the club's 6-1 defeat to Real Madrid in their Champions League opener.

Galatasaray midfielder Felipe Melo has admitted his disappointment following the club's 6-1 defeat to Real Madrid in their Champions League opener on Tuesday.

The Turkish outfit were the better side in the first period, but Madrid scored five times in the second half to secure a comprehensive three points.

"I feel upset and sad, because this was a result nobody expected," the Brazilian midfielder told reporters at a press conference.

"And half an hour into the game, who would have predicted 6-1? You can play as good as you possibly can, but in the end you are facing Real Madrid, a team consisting of some of the best players in the world."

Melo joined Gala on a permanent contract from Juventus in the summer.
