Real Madrid defender Pepe says they shouldn't panic after dropping points against Villarreal.

Real were held 1-1 by the Yellow Submarine.

"We wanted to win even though we knew they are a good team and very hard working. They were very active and hindered our play. We fought hard but we were up against a good, well-organised side. We are still first in the league but we have to keep going right until the end," said Pepe .

"We tried moving the ball around and we produced a lot of good crosses, but Villarreal played with two defensive blocks of four, which made it almost impossible for us to pass the ball through the middle. We came out of the dressing room with a bit more intensity in the second half. We scored but then shortly afterwards conceded the equaliser."
