Casemiro faced the press after a disastrous 3-0 defeat to PSG in the Champions League on Wednesday and shared some sensible words.

What did he say?

Many things went wrong on that Wednesday night for Los Blancos and it's naturally difficult to put a positive spin on such a heavy defeat.

But that's exactly what Casemiro did in Paris.

The Brazilian star acknowledged that there are no excuses for such a performance and that he and his team-mates could have done more on the night.

But he also emphasised that they are working hard to rectify the issues at the beginning of their European campaign; they also have to play Club Brugge and Galatasaray in the group stages.

Here's what he said in full:

"We have to keep working hard because we still have a lot of games ahead. We had chances. We scored two goals that were disallowed, but I think there are no excuses now. We didn’t play well and it’s a delicate moment to speak. We’re working hard and we have time to put things right."

Only the beginning

At the moment, everything seems rather dire for Real Madrid and their fans. The first four games in the 2019/20 La Liga season have not exactly been exceptional.

After all, they've recorded two wins and two draws so far.

Obviously, the Champions League did not start off on the right foot, either, but Casemiro is right that they have plenty of time to improve.

And that's true for both the league and for Europe.

Real have been in these situations before and they're also not the only ones. Elsewhere, Barcelona drew with Borussia Dortmund, Liverpool, the Champions League holders, lost to Napoli, while Tottenham Hotspur, last season's runners-up, drew 2-2 with Olympiacos. Juventus and Atletico Madrid also played out a 2-2 draw.

The top teams still need to get up to speed and there are plenty of games to come.

We'll have to wait and see if Real manage to turn their form around but Casemiro's attitude is the right one.
