Real Madrid's start to the new season has been challenging. Despite being the clear favourites to win the league title, they've managed only five points from their first three matches.

Their latest setback occurred against Las Palmas, where the reigning Spanish champions were held to a 1-1 draw in Gran Canaria on Thursday night.

Despite taking an early lead, Los Blancos struggled to overcome Luis Carrion's well-organised defence, resulting in their second draw in just three La Liga games, per Managing Madrid.

Clearly displeased with their performance, Perez stressed the importance of increasing their focus and intensity.

“Every team will play the match of their lives against us, that’s how it is,” he reminded the players, pointing to the tenacity that Real Madrid encounters when playing away games, like the recent ones against Mallorca and Las Palmas.

Acknowledging that the season is still in its early stages, Perez cautioned against complacency, noting that "we have 5 points out of 9, and this is just the beginning."
