Madrid's "Real" fans haven't seen such a poor series in a long time. The royal club failed to score in four consecutive matches, a first since 1985. And in the Spanish championship, in three consecutive matches, "Real" players have not defeated the opponent's goalkeeper since May 2002. To make matters worse, the poor series led to a recent 0:1 loss to the modest "Alaves" team. After the match, "Real" coach Julen Lopetegui had to answer some not so pleasant questions. "We know that this period is not good for us, but even in the worst case we will only be three points behind the first place. Of course, we are disappointed because we wanted to win. I think we started the game quite well, but missed opportunities later cost us dearly. We want to return to the path of victory as soon as possible. The coach doesn't think about it (possible dismissal - ed.)", - said J. Lopetegui.
