Sergio's comments on the fans' reaction
Sergio Ramos, on being asked about the jeers from fans, commented that he did not notice the jeers, but the senior players do have to carry the load on themselves.

History
Real Madrid fans have a history of jeering their players
This is not the first time that Real Madrid fans have booed and jeered their own players. They have done the same, earlier, to legends like Ronaldo and Zidane. They also jeered Gareth Bale in his very first season at Real Madrid when he moved there from Tottenham. Even Brazil's Ronaldo once said that he never felt loved by the Bernabeu fans.
