'Ronaldo, Bale & Benzema must defend for Real Madrid!'

Though Zinedine Zidane's side are yet to lose this season, Lucas Vazquez is concerned about the number of goals that they are letting in and wants the 'BBC' to do more

Real Madrid forward Lucas Vazquez has called on Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema to pitch in more in defence to stem the flow of goals being conceded.

The 'BBC' forward line have plundered 19 goals in all competitions so far this season, helping Madrid to the top of La Liga and putting them on the brink of qualifying for the Champions League knockouts.

However, despite being yet to suffer defeat, Zinedine Zidane's side have conceded 18 goals this term - including three in the draw with Legia Warsaw on November 2 - and have kept only one clean sheet in their last 11 matches.

And Vazquez warns that it is crucial that everyone in the team plays their part in keeping Madrid solid - including the forward line.

"A team is based on everyone working. The BBC and the central midfield have to help the defence so that we don't concede so many goals," he told Cadena COPE.

Vazquez was a regular in Zidane's side last season but has only made three starts in 2016-17 - one each in the league, Copa del Rey and UEFA Super Cup - but the 25-year-old maintains that he is content with his role at the Santiago Bernabeu for the time being.
"It doesn't matter whether or not the BBC is untouchable. The boss is the one who decides and we have to train," he declared. "Zidane gives me confidence in myself. I don't know what will happen in two or three years but I'm happy at Real Madrid right now.
"Getting p***** off at not playing doesn't help anybody. You have to do your best for the team when you go out there.

"Since I was a kid, I've dreamed of playing for Real Madrid and I treat every game like it's a final. I'm a really lucky guy."
