Lopetegui: Real Madrid weren't so good against Roma and we're not so bad now CSKA 1-0 Real Madrid He called for some perspective after the loss

A third defeat of the season and a third consecutive game without scoring has many suggesting that Real Madrid are in a crisis, but coach Julen Lopetegui is keen to play down such talk.

Real Madrid are goalless in three straight games for the first time since 2006/07 after their Champions League defeat to CSKA Moscow, but Lopetegui is urging people to remain calm.

"Ten days ago we beat Roma and weren't so invincible," he said at his post-match press conference.

"Now, we are not so bad.

"There are some situations in football that we have to reverse."

Lopetegui is confident that the goals will return if the side keep creating chances as they have been.

"We must keep trying to score," he said.

"Keep generating chances and we will be more successful, I have no doubt that the team will score and the victories will come.

"Today was not easy, but we have to think about Alaves."

When asked what he felt his side were missing, Lopetegui said he thinks they're simply lacking goals.

"We have failed to score the countless chances we have had," he said.

"We have lacked fortune, we have tried and from distance, in the centre, through crossing balls.

"From that point of view we have had bad luck."

It's now time for Los Blancos to refocus on the league, as they face a tricky trip to Alaves this Saturday.
