Real Madrid attacker Isco has admitted that his team "become anxious" if they fail to score in the early stages of matches at the Bernabeu.
Los Blancos have won both of their away La Liga fixtures this season, but have already dropped seven points on home soil.
Wednesday's shock 1-0 home defeat to Real Betis has left Real Madrid down in seventh position in the table - seven points behind the league leaders Barcelona on the same number of matches.
Isco has conceded that his team currently have a problem at the Bernabeu, but the Spain international has insisted that the Spanish champions will bounce back from their early-season woes.
"We become anxious if we don't score an early goal," Marca quotes Isco as saying. "There have been times in the past we have pulled off fantastic comebacks in the final few minutes and scored when we didn't deserve to, but we cannot rely on that.
"It's better this is happening now rather than later in the season as there is time to fix this – we've come back from worse situations."
Next up for Real Madrid in the league is a trip to struggling Alaves on Saturday afternoon.
