Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has said his side “did not play well” and “must find solutions” after Saturday’s boring 1-1 home draw with Levante.
A much-rotated Madrid team conceeded after 12 minutes when Levante winger Ivi took advantage of poor home defending.
They drew level on 36 minutes when Lucas Vazquez converted rebound after Raul had pushed away a Sergio Ramos header.
But despite dominating possession, Madrid could not create clear chances through the second half, with substitute Gareth Bale again booed by the Bernabeu crowd.
“We cannot be happy with what we did today,” he said. “Against Valencia we dropped two points, but played well. We must find solutions — we did not play well. We were missing many things.
“We needed to start with more intensity, and we did not do that. The second half was better, but still not enough, Zidane said.
“We need to look for solutions within the squad. Karim is injured, hopefully not too bad. Cristiano [Ronaldo] will play on Wednesday. Then we will see on Sunday [at Sociedad] — it is unlikely that Karim will be back.”
