Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti urged the club's fans to "be positive" after captain and goalkeeper, Iker Casillas, was again targeted with whistles in Tuesday's 5-1 Champions League drubbing of FC Basel.
Casillas, who celebrated 15 years since his Real debut on Friday, was blamed by some supporters for not doing more to prevent Atletico Madrid's opening goal in Saturday's 2-1 La Liga defeat at the Bernabeu.
While one section of the crowd jeered the Spain stopper every time he touched the ball on Tuesday, others tried to drown the protests out with applause and the fans appear to be divided over whether Ancelotti should stick with Casillas or promote new signing Keylor Navas.
