    Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane admits this is “probably" his toughest spell in charge.

    "But we've had difficult periods before and we were criticised. It's the same today," he said.

    "But you know, is it tougher? Perhaps it is, but no problem. I don't think about these things."

    Real Madrid have lost their last two games in all competitions - to Alaves and Shakhtar.

    They have one point in their last three league games. They have never gone four La Liga games without a win under Zinedine Zidane.

    A Sevilla win today would take them above Madrid in the table. They have won their past three league matches.
