Real Madrid chief Emilio Butragueno has defended the players after defeat to Real Sociedad.

La Real shocked Madrid 2-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday.

Butragueno was asked about additions this month given their poor start to the year.

But he insisted, "This squad has players with loads of talent and I think that it is a good day to reinforce that message.

"They have won many titles. The Club World Cup isn't nothing, three consecutive Champions Leagues. These players are stupendous."
