Real Madrid midfielder Marco Asensio insists he's not panicking over his form slump.

So far he has struggled to deliver on a consistent basis while the team as a whole have disappointed in the opening months of the season.

"I don't see it as a crisis, it is not for me to lead from the front, there are other players that have been at the club for longer, they are more experienced, have a higher status and it is down to them," he said.

"At the moment I'm not standing out but we will make an overall evaluation at the end of the season. There have been some criticisms that have not been correct but we know how journalism works here. I am not going to include all but there are some that go out to cause damage."
