No treble and no Copa as injury crisis starts to bite for Zidane's Madrid

Los Blancos were unable to overturn the 2-1 deficit from the first leg against Celta Vigo and are out of the cup as their blip in form continues

Real Madrid have been here before. After a superb 22-match winning run at the end of 2014, Carlo Ancelotti's team looked on top of the world. However, an injury crisis and a loss of form saw Los Blancos' season derail in the opening months of 2015.

History is now repeating itself. Zinedine Zidane's side set a new Spanish record by putting together a 40-match unbeaten streak. That was extremely impressive, but it ended with a 2-1 loss at Sevilla, was followed by a defeat by the same scoreline at home to Celta Vigo last week and on Wednesday, Los Blancos were unable to overturn that deficit in the teams' Copa del Rey quarter-final second leg at Balaidos.
