REAL MADRID captain Sergio Ramos has pulled no punches as he described the side's start to the La Liga season as "f***ing bad".
Last night (Wednesday) the defending champs fell to a shock 1-0 home defeat to Real Betis as Antonio Sanabria netted an injury-time winner.
Los Blancos have failed to win any of theur opening three home fixtures in La Liga leaving Ramos fuming by how things are going.
Speaking after the shock loss at the Bernabeu, Ramos said: "It's a f***ing bad start.
"It's not normal in these matches at home against sides who on paper would normally be leaving the Bernabeu with a different result.
"We need to be self-critical and turn the page.
"Hopefully it's just a problem with being clinical. We did everything we could, but there's not been a ruthless side to our finishing.
"Another day it finishes 4-0 or 4-1 and everything is ok."

The result means Real are without a win in their three league games at the Bernabeu this season, having also drawn with Valencia and Levante.
They now sit seven points behind pace setters Barcelona, who are the only side left in La Liga with a perfect record after five games.
Madrid enjoyed 60 per cent possession and had 27 efforts at goal to their visitors 12, however their dominance was of no consolation to the Frenchman.
Speaking after the shock result, Zidane said: "The ball just didn't want to go in for us.
"If you score one chance its a totally different game, but when it doesn't want to go in, results like this can happen.
"We need to remain calm, but its just two points from nine at home.
"I feel for the players, the effort they've put in. When the opponent scores like that at the end it hurts.
"Next time we have a game at home we have to ensure that we do everything we can to win and change this bad run."
