Real Madrid aren't in crisis

Former Liverpool favourite Steve McManaman insists Real Madrid are not in crisis.

After losing at Racing Santander and drawing with AEK Athens at the Bernabeu in midweek, Real's superstars have come under pressure from the Spanish media.

But England international McManaman, who scored the opening two goals against AEK, said: "There is no crisis."

"We are first in our group in Europe and fifth in the La Liga - and only three points off the leader."

"Of course we want to win all our games, but it is difficult."
