Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos urged calm after their shocking 7-3 defeat to Atletico Madrid in New Jersey.
Ramos insists he remains confident in the squad for the season ahead.
He said, “We're obviously not feeling great right now. This has only just begun, they're preparation games to get us up to the top level. There are many ways in which to lose, but we can't be doing it like we did today.
"We played the game like a friendly, it's a big margin and we head away frustrated. It's a very poor result and we have to try and reach the levels we aspire to.
“I have absolute confidence and after so many years here, if I thought this team weren't capable of winning things, I'd be the first to go. I have immense confidence in this team and in madridismo."
