Los Blancos captain Sergio Ramos stood up for the troubled manager and stated that everyone in the club fully support Lopetegui. In his interview to AS defender said:

To change the manager would be insane. The people who think that Real Madrid is dead and buried are wrong. We’ll fight to death, it’s in our DNA. We are concerned about the situation, and I hope we will change things really soon. The time has come.
