Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti has conceded that his side are 'not in their best moment'.
Los Blancos were held to a 2-2 draw by Elche in La Liga on January 23 before losing 1-0 to Athletic Bilbao in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey on Thursday night.
The capital giants managed to return to winning ways on Sunday, recording a 1-0 victory over Granada at Bernabeu courtesy of a 74th-minute effort from Marco Asensio.
However, the Whites again struggled for long stages of the contest, and Ancelotti has admitted that his side are currently finding it tough to show their best form at a vital stage of the season.
"The best news of tonight are the three points. We played a very good second half. The team and the players performed," Ancelotti told reporters.
"We all know right now we are not in our best moment, but I think it is going to end soon, as per next week we are recovering important players, so we can prepare the next match. The reaction of the players that started and the ones coming from the bench was very good to help the team."
Real Madrid, who are six points clear of second-placed Sevilla at the top of La Liga, will be back in action away to Villarreal on February 12. body check tags ::
