Zinedine Zidane's side slipped to a disappointing defeat away to Sevilla, the latest setback in a catastrophic campaign for last season's winners
A year ago, Real Madrid were closing in on a first European Cup and La Liga double since 1958. Los Blancos claimed a second successive Champions League crown and, what was even more satisfying for some, a domestic championship to sit alongside it.
But there will be no repeat this time around. While Zinedine Zidane's side remain on course for third straight success in the Champions League, La Liga is long lost and, after another disappointing defeat on Wednesday, the competition cannot end soon enough for Real.
