Cristiano Ronaldo's barren run in front of goal in the league is no secret to anyone, especially not team-mate Sergio Ramos who admits that the Portuguese is not a happy man when he fails to score.

Ronaldo drew a blank against Las Palmas on Sunday to extend his goalless run in La Liga and 'Los Blancos' captain Ramos says that the lack of goals is definitely getting to his team-mate.

'Cristiano and Karim's goals will come in. Karim is more generous in that sense,' Ramos told 'Movistar +' following Sunday's game. 'Cristiano is certainly going home upset when he does not score.

'But we do not worry that they have scored few goals because they make a difference and what matters is winning, and the goals will come.'

The win means that Real go into the international break in third, eight point behind leaders Barcelona ahead of a trip to the Wanda Metropolitano to face city rivals Atletico Madrid in two weeks' time.

Despite Ronaldo and Benzema's profligacy in fron of goal, spanish international Ramos insisted that he was happy with the team's performance on the whole, saying: 'The team played for the victory from the first minute. Las Palmas kept men behind the ball and after the first goal, they tried to play on the counter.

'We took advantage of the spaces and the victory is very important for us.'
