The Real Madrid skipper has told reporters “we will continue fighting” after his team dropped more point in Valencia.

Levante came from behind twice to draw 2-2 holding the champions for the second time this season and a Barcelona win in the Catalunya derby with Espanyol will leave them 21 points behind their eternal rivals.

Ramos who headed home the first, created history by becoming the first defender to score in 14 consecutive seasons, said have his team have let out points in games they have controlled.


“We will continue fighting to stay as high as possible. The Champions League and the rest of the season should serve to try to recompose the group,” he said.

“It is not normal to be at this distance. Something we have done wrong, letting out many points in games that were controlled. It has been one of our worst years.

“The team works, nobody is hiding, everyone goes to the front and when there is a complicated situation you have to be protected, be united, and it is the only way to do something worthwhile in the Champions League.”

The 31-year-old have called on his team to stay strong and positive to improve.

“We are disappointed because it was a game that we had controlled in general and in the end the points escaped us,” he said.

“We had a good first half, playing well and overtaking, but on their first occasion they tied us.

“It is true that this season has happened to us several times but things improve with work. You have to keep working and not lower your arms.

“In this situation, we must be united and strong, and be positive to improve. We believe in our capacity.”

With their La Liga hopes dashed, Madrid will focus on winning a third straight Champions League crown, with Paris Saint-Germain awaiting in the last 16.
