Real Madrid squad receive strong motivational talk from Sergio Ramos LaLiga Santander MARCA confirm the reports

Sergio Ramos has delivered an inspiring talk to the rest of the Real Madrid squad, calling for the players to focus on the remaining 12 LaLiga Santander games of the season.

With no members of the coaching staff present, Ramos gathered the squad in the dressing room to drive home his message: everyone must focus on each game between now and the end of the campaign.

Cadena Cope's El Partidazo and El Transistor of Onda Cero reported the story originally, and MARCA have been able to confirm it.

The Madrid captain had a fiery dispute with Florentino Perez in the dressing room after the Champions League elimination against Ajax in midweek, but Ramos has shown his commitment to the cause by calling on players to pull together or to leave the Santiago Bernabeu if they are not committed.

Ramos' voice was raised throughout as he sought a response from his teammates after they lost the chance to win all three of their competitions in the space of a week.

The defender took complete control with the speech, and the only interruption came from Isco as he apologised for not travelling with the team from Valdebebas to the Bernabeu for the Ajax match after not being named in the 18-man matchday squad.
