Sergio Ramos: 'No problem with Jose Mourinho'

Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has insisted that he and his teammates have nothing against coach Jose Mourinho.

Recent reports in Spain have suggested that the Spanish centre-back and goalkeeper Iker Casillas have asked the club's board to sack Mourinho at the end of the season.

"A plot against Mourinho? It's just a big lie," Ramos told reporters. "We are all united at Madrid.

"In recent weeks the team has been on a very good run, and that accumulation of victories can only encourage us going into Wednesday's match [against Barcelona in Copa del Rey semi-final first-leg].

"It bothers me that I'm not able to play [because of suspension], but I have to comply with the sanctions."

Ramos scored in Madrid's 4-0 victory over Getafe at the Bernabeu in La Liga on Sunday.
