"Real" Madrid football players will want to forget yesterday's match against Seville's "Real Betis as soon as possible.
Zinedine Zidane's coached "White" club unexpectedly lost at home by a minimal margin to the Andalusians. As if that wasn't enough, "Real" now trails "Barça" by 7 points and currently ranks in seventh place.
It was also unexpected that "Real" did not score a single goal against "Betis". This happened for the first time since April 26, 2016, when they played a goalless draw against "Manchester City".
In the past, "Real" scored at least one goal in 73 consecutive matches. Over the weekend, they defeated "Real Sociedad" 3-1, matching the legendary record of Pele's "Santos", but they did not improve on it yesterday.
"Real" also has major issues when playing at home - the royal club did not secure a single victory in their first three matches at the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium. This is the worst result in 20 years. The last time the "White" started a season so poorly at home in the Spanish league was in the 1995-96 season, where they finished at a surprising seventh place.
