Cristiano Ronaldo is not concerned about Real Madrid defending their LaLiga title despite a downturn in form.

Defeats to Girona and Real Betis have left Madrid with an uphill challenge to defend their league title this season, but Ronaldo is not worried.

He added: "The team? We're playing pretty well; not perfect, but good! I'm happy and I feel good. We dropped some points in the league but, in the Champions League, we're okay.

"It's only the start of the season and there are a lot of matches left to play. You have to stay calm and continue to work, because it's obvious we can do better.

"Things will change; I'm not worried. Other people are more so than me. I'm in 'delta mode,' if you know what I mean: calm, serene. Two years ago, it was the same situation; last year, the same. And this year, it starts again."
