before clarifying his thoughts. He admits that Real Madrid's last two setbacks generated huge media noise, but firmly denies any internal rift.

"When you don't win matches at Real Madrid, people talk a lot. We played very poorly, but after the break, we'll come back ready to beat Elche."

The World Cup winner reminded everyone that despite the criticism, Real Madrid remain top of La Liga and are still among the Champions League's last eight.

"It's not perfect, but we all know that when things aren't working on the pitch, people keep talking and talking. But we're united to win every trophy this year."
