Casillas used to Real Madrid crisis talk

Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas insists he isn't surprised by the backlash from their thrashing at Liverpool.

"Here I have experienced many of these situations and I am not surprised by what's happened," sighed Casillas. "When you lose at Madrid, everything is magnified for the worse. You talk about elections, presidents, signings, but we focus on the league, where the thing is not easy."

"We have to cut six points from Barcelona and you saw what happened two years ago. And although it is not always going to happen, we must try."

On breaking down at the end of the game at Anfield, Casillas explained: "I wasn't crying, I was just upset because to concede so many goals hurts. But as Luis Aragonese has told me, in football there are plenty of chances for revenge."
