Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta has said that he is doubtful about the reported problems at Real Madrid.
There have been rumours over the past week suggesting that coach Jose Mourinho has fallen out with some of his squad.
With the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-final coming up, Iniesta has stated that he does not buy into the media's claims regarding a crisis at the Bernabeu.
"They lead the league," said the Spanish international.
"They can still reach the semi-finals of the Copa and they are into the next round of the Champions League.
"From an outside perspective, it's hard to read whether or not they have problems."
Barcelona currently sit in second place behind Real Madrid in La Liga.
