Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos was left frustrated with their 0-0 draw with Atletico Madrid.

Los Blancos went into this weekend as LaLiga Santander round as leaders and Ramos wanted them to prove their strength by beating Los Rojiblancos.

"These games against Atletico are very physical," he said to Movistar afterwards.

"It's one of the most difficult stadiums we have to visit throughout the season and it's important to keep a clean sheet.

"But in attack it's hard to create chances because they don't leave much space.

"This point doesn't mean a lot because we wanted three."

Madrid have improved at the back in recent weeks, and Ramos admitted it's something they've been aware of.

"It's something we've been working on, being forceful," he explained.

"Everything adds up and I think we're enjoying a good spell."
