Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos insists no one at the club is pushing the panic button as Barcelona threaten to overhaul their lead at the top of the Primera Liga.
Real have lost three of their past four games and could lose top spot on Saturday if they suffer another slip-up against struggling Recreativo Huelva.
Bernd Schuster's side's lead over Barca, which had looked virtually insurmountable before Christmas, is now down to two points - and they even lost their 100% home record last weekend when they went down 1-0 to Getafe.
That defeat followed a 2-1 defeat at Real Betis and even a 7-0 thrashing of Valladolid the game before can not disguise the fact Real are in the midst of an alarming loss of form.
Their Champions League future is also far from certain after a 2-1 second-round first-leg defeat at Roma as a season which had looked so bright threatens to implode.
Ramos though claims the team are not thinking about the possibility of being overtaken by Barcelona.
He told the club's official website, www.realmadrid.com: "That would be another mistake. We have a winning mentality and we are going to remain calm. If it happens, we will simply have to keep fighting hard in order to win in May.
