Real Madrid midfielder Isco admits they're struggling for fluency after defeat to Athletic Bilbao.

Bilbao won thanks to a first-half header by Aritz Aduriz.

Isco said: "We leave here with a bad feeling in our stomachs because this is now two straight games without picking up three points and that is a real shame. Lately we have been lacking a bit of freshness up front and that is not normal for Real Madrid, but it is a matter of phases. Things aren't going that well now but that's certain to change.

"We are lacking that killer pass and need to be more accurate. We've had that throughout the La Liga campaign but we've lacked precision in the last two games, but we'll get back on track in terms of results and playing well."
