Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane admits things are "bad" after defeat to Real Betis.

Los Blancos allowed the visitors to score in the 94th minute to condemn the defending champions to their worst start at home in LaLiga for over 20 years.

"It's bad," the coach remarked to reporters. "This is football, when the ball just did not want to go in, this can happen.

"We did not have a great game but neither a bad game.

"We had chances, today the ball did not want to go in, especially here, in our home stadium. I love this word, tranquility. We are going to have tranquility. We will be calm."

Draws with Levante and Valencia have been followed up by Real's first goalless outing in well over a year, although Zidane has come to terms with the size of the task he now faces.

"It's clear, we have to live with it," Zidane confessed. "There have been three games, the start of our league campaign here at home has not been good enough.

"We did not think it was going to be like this, but we can not change it.

"What we can change is the next game, which we'll do our best to win. And in the next home game in the league we have to do everything to try to win."
