Real Madrid coach Julen Lopetegui insists they can handle the absence of captain Sergio Ramos in Moscow.

Ramos is missing for Tuesday's Champions League clash with CSKA Moscow.

Lopetegui said, "He's played 125 minutes more than anyone else and I've decided to rest him for this one. There are times when you have to rest, so as to be able to feature in the other games. His hamstrings will thank him for the rest."

The coach continued: "We improved as the game went on in the derby and performed better than Atlético. We showed that we've got the options to cope with difficult situations. We want to create as many chances as possible and improve. Tomorrow is another opportunity to improve when faced with adversity."
