Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos condemned Los Blancos' "f--king bad start" to the new season in the wake of Wednesday's 1-0 home defeat to Real Betis in La Liga.
Having won twice, drawn twice and now lost once in the Spanish top flight in 2017-18 Real are already seven points back from table-topping Barcelona, and Ramos, 31, did not mince his words when assessing the situation, per MailOnline's Jonathan Spencer:
"It's a f--king bad start. It's concerning and alarming, as [this bad start at home] has included games against opponents that we would normally beat at the Bernabeu.
