Bournemouth defender Tommy Elphick believes that he and his teammates can learn from Real Madrid following their friendly defeat to the Spanish giants.

Bournemouth defender Tommy Elphick believes that he and his teammates can take plenty of "positives" from their defeat to Real Madrid.

The newly-promoted Championship side were beaten 6-0 by the Spanish giants at the Goldsands Stadium in a one-off exhibition match yesterday.

"It was fantastic," Elphick said during a post-match press conference. "We're disappointed to lose by so many, but there's a lot of positives to come out of it.

"I think on the whole we can learn a lot from this match, especially the attitude of them.

"They've come to a place that they don't know very well and they've shown what they're about. I think we competed well up until the first goal, so there's a lot of positives."

Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice during the sold-out fixture.
