Title holders Real Madrid were a shadow of their last year’s domestic and UEFA Champions League winning selves after they slumped to a shocking defeat against Villarreal on Saturday afternoon.
The Zinedine Zidane-tutored side fell to a 1-0 defeat against the yellow canaries courtesy of an 87th-minute Pablo Fornals strike at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, which brings their losses in the league to four this season.
Current Ballon D’Or holder, Cristiano Ronaldo failed to impress on Saturday afternoon to break his side’s free fall, which further mounts pressure on Zidane.
While Madrid have continued to fumble, their bitter rivals Barcelona have continued to wax stronger, failing to lose in any game this season.
The La Liga title holders have now lost four, drawn five and won just nine of their 18 games this season for a miserable 32 points and sit in fourth place behind Barcelona (1st), Atletico Madrid (2nd) and Valencia (3rd).
