Zinedine Zidane Denies He Is Worried by Real Madrid's Form But Admits Consistency Must Improve

Zinedine Zidane has insisted he isn't worried about Real Madrid's recent struggles, but confessed that his side must find consistency in their game if they are to make a serious challenge for La Liga this season.

Los Blancos slumped to a bitterly disappointing 1-0 defeat away at RCD Mallorca on Saturday, in turn relinquishing their place atop the league table and falling a point behind Barcelona.

Despite failing to dazzle so far this season, workmanlike performances from Madrid had seen them capitalise on other side's failings and lead La Liga heading into their most recent loss, which saw Lago Junior's seventh minute strike prove to be the winner - while Álvaro Odriozola was sent off late on for two yellow cards.
