Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has admitted his side's form away from home is a major cause for concern.
The La Liga giants were held to a goalless draw at Racing Santander on Wednesday, just three days after they suffered their first league defeat this season at Levante.
Real's form on the road has seen them fall behind in the race for the Spanish title, and Mourinho confessed he is worried by his side's situation.
Although the situation is not as bad as it could be - with chief title rivals Barcelona dropping four points of their own away from home this season - Mourinho said Real would be looking to address their form on the road.
"In the end, it is the points which count," Mourinho said. "And we have lost five points on the road. It is worrying, yes."
"In the first half we did not play well but in the second session, we were all over our opponents' midfield, and though we did not create many chances, we were absolutely dominant in the last 30 minutes."
Mourinho paid tribute to Racing, but lamented some of their tactics in the second half to slow the game down.
"We have to give credit to Racing, they played well defensively," he said.
"Despite our effort, we did not have the necessary dynamics as the pace kept dropping thanks to the passiveness of those who let it drop: the substitution cart, the simulations they were allowed to pull."
Real Madrid dropped points for a second successive game when they were held to a 0-0 draw at Racing Santander in La Liga last night.
Jose Mourinho's side, who suffered a shock 1-0 defeat at Levante on Sunday, again looked short of ideas and creativity at Racing's El Sardinero stadium and barely threatened the home goal in a generally lacklustre display.
