Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas has backed his team to recover from their damaging loss to Barcelona at the weekend.

Los Merengues were dealt a humiliating blow as they slipped to a 4-0 defeat to their fierce rivals at the Bernabeu, but Navas is confident that they can respond due to the quality they have at their disposal.

"We all know what we have to do," he told reporters. "We have to improve the situation. I believe in all my colleagues. I believe in the team that we have.

"We're a team, when we lose we all lose together; when we win we all win together. In every team you have good times and you have bad times".

Madrid will return to action on Wednesday evening with a Champions League clash away to Shakhtar Donetsk, before returning to La Liga duty against Eibar at the weekend.
