Real Madrid in crisis? We're only four points behind Barcelona - Vazquez

Lucas Vazquez has laughed off talk of a crisis at Real Madrid, with the supposedly out-of-sorts Blancos only four points adrift of Barcelona.

Those at Santiago Bernabeu have not enjoyed an easy run through 2018-19 to this point, with an inconsistent start to the campaign leading to Julen Lopetegui being relieved of his managerial duties.

That decision was taken on the back of a 5-1 Clasico mauling at Camp Nou, with Real considered to have hit a new low following a period of much change which had seen them bid farewell to talismanic figures such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane.
