Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas believes it will take time for the new-look side to gel but says he is fully committed to the club.
The Spanish giants have invested heavily this summer after ending last season empty-handed, and their failure was brought into even sharper focus as rivals Barcelona claimed the league, UEFA Champions League and Copa del Rey.
And while Casillas is happy to face up to the 'challenge' of taking back some silverware from Barca, he admits it may take time to hit top form.
"It's a little damaging to your pride and you do think, 'What a shame that they won the treble'," he told Don Balon.
"You wonder why Real Madrid can't win three competitions or even aspire to that.
"I think that we will view all three competitions equally next year. All three are very important."
Asked whether having the Champions League final at the Bernabeu next season would make that competition particularly special, he replied: "Yes, but we can't go from winning nothing to winning everything in a year, right?
"For five years, we have gone out when we have reached the last 16 of the competition.
"Obviously those at the club feel that being in this final is the most important ambition, but clearly we cannot expect to win everything overnight.
"We need to take a calm approach."
