Real Madrid have failed to score in their last four games and have lost all their past three games to suffer their worst run of failing to hit the back of the net since 1985.
Michael Essien who had a loan spell with the Los Blancos in the 2012-13 season has sensed danger for Julen Lopetegui.

"Real Madrid are one the biggest clubs, so you can imagine the pressure," Essien said to Omnisport. "We all hope he will do well.
"It's a big club and if you're not going to get the results you know what happens next."
Essien is best remembered for a nine-year spell at Chelsea, who broke the world transfer record for a goalkeeper to sign Kepa Arrizabalaga from Athletic Bilbao for €80million (£72m) in August.
The former Ghana midfielder is impressed with how the Spain international is settling in at Stamford Bridge.

"So far, so good," Essien said. "Hopefully he will continue like this."
