Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos defended coach Carlo Ancelotti after victory over Levante.

Ancelotti and goalscorer Bale were jeered at times by the home crowd.

"It was difficult, because of the [poor] run, but a wake-up call is never a bad thing. The demands here are higher than at any other place. I've been here for many years and we've been through every type of situation - this isn't worrying at all. We need to be more united than ever, go to the Camp Nou looking to win and showing our best form. Today was a good chance to gain confidence," said Ramos.

Ramos also insists the demands of Real fans should be accepted by the players.

"This is Real Madrid. Whoever isn't ready for it shouldn't wear the badge. Everything here has a repercussion."
