Carlo Ancelotti denied that Real Madrid's Copa del Rey exit could derail their season after Athletic Club's 1-0 quarterfinal win at San Mames on Thursday.
The defeat means Madrid won't be able to add the Copa to last month's Supercopa triumph, but they remain in the hunt for more trophies, top of LaLiga and facing Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League round-of-16.
"We're hurt, because we want to win every competition we play," Ancelotti said in a post-match news conference.
"We won the Supercopa, and this one has gone, but we have two more competitions where we're well-positioned.
"I don't think this defeat will have consequences. The only consequence is that it can make us stronger."
Alex Berenguer's 89th minute strike was enough to put Athletic into the tournament's last four, joining Rayo Vallecano, Valencia and Real Betis in Friday's semifinal draw.
