Real Madrid suffered their third-straight LaLiga draw over the weekend, failing to score against Athletic Bilbao at home despite 20 shots (eight on target) and 70 per cent possession.
Aside from Karim Benzema, Real Madrid have not had a reliable goalscorer, with Sergio Ramos leading all others with just three goals.
Even though Los Blancos have scored just once in their past three games, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is convinced that the Real Madrid side is fine just the way it is.
“We have players who can score goals too. Bad luck and good goalkeepers, it’s a bit of everything at the moment,” Courtois said.
“I don’t have an explanation for why the ball doesn’t want to go in, but I trust that my teammates can score at any time.
“Karim is outstanding, he has scored a lot of goals already. I don’t think a signing is necessary, I fully trust the team.”
Real Madrid have scored 33 goals this season compared to Barcelona’s 47 goals and are in second place, two points off the pace.
