Following the Copa del Rey elimination at the hands of their arch-rivals FC Barcelona, Los Blancos hosted the Catalans again, this time around in La Liga with the hope of reducing the points gap between them. However, with another win at the Bernabeu within four days, Valverde's men secured a 12-point lead over their eternal rivals.

Furious at the players' performance during their 4-1 defeat in the Champions League, Florentino Perez berated the squad as he spoke for several minutes, scolding the players for their lack of determination, going as far as to use the term "disgraceful".

Following a strict battering from the Madrid president, Madrid skipper Sergio Ramos accused the club's hierarchy of making poor decisions throughout the season, blaming them for the dreadful campaigns, both at the domestic as well as at the European level.

In the heat of the moment, the former Sevilla man ended up saying, "Pay me up and I'll go". The entire squad witnessed the heated exchange of words between the two.

What's next?

Real Madrid currently occupies the third spot in La Liga and as mentioned above, are 12 points adrift of leaders Barcelona.

Solari's men will take on Real Valladolid in La Liga, away from home, with the hopes of getting back on winning ways.
