Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has insisted that his team will overcome what has been a difficult period of the season.

A 3-2 defeat to Sevilla before the international break was followed by a 4-0 home loss to Barcelona on November 21, which saw the Madrid giants fall six points off the leaders in the La Liga table.

Ramos admits that it was "very hard" to lose El Clasico in that manner, but has warned Barcelona that their current success will not last forever.

"It was a tough week after a negative result. To lose a Clasico like that was very hard," Ramos said at the LFP awards.

"Now it's time to forget what happened and not miss any more points in the League. Barca should enjoy [their success] now, because you never know how long it'll last. We took a step forward by winning at Eibar. We have to cut the points to Barca and Atletico Madrid."

Ramos is currently on the sidelines nursing a shoulder problem.
