Speaking ahead of his side clash with Real Sociedad on Wednesday, Benitez said.
“There is a campaign against Madrid, against Florentino and against me.
“Everything that happens here is manipulated. I knew I was coming to a club where everything is magnified. I have been 30 years in the dugout and had more than 1,400 games. I know how it is and how you solve it.

“You concentrate on the job. I know I cannot let myself get distracted.
“The team is much better than what people think – that has been reflected in some of the matches.”
“Every decision I take is considered as a personal decision, so there is a lot of speculation. The campaign is obvious.
While former Liverpool manager rubbished the rumors of alleged bust up with players.
“My relationship with the squad is much better than the media say. Some players are happier than others, but this happens in all squads. I can’t waste time on that, I have to bring out the best in them.
“We have a 24-man squad, so 13 have to be left out very week. It seems to me people think when players are left out it is a personal decision and it is not it is technical.
“I can only pick 11 players, if people want to damage me and the club I can’t do anything about that – all I can do is work.
