Real Madrid defender Pepe pleads for calm from fans

Real Madrid defender Pepe admits the players are "upset" after their 1-1 draw with Eibar.

It meant more dropped points for the European champions.

Pepe stated: “We went out to win the game, they worked really hard and we set out well. It's hard to take dropping points at home. The most important thing is that we worked hard and tried to put things right, but we couldn't get the three points and we have to change the vibe.

“I'd like to say to the fans that they stay calm because we are trying to change the situation. There're a lot of games left to play and we have to always fight. Today has been a strange day, we lost James in the warm up and then the two enforced changes at half time. This was something that we weren't expecting."
