Real Madrid – La Liga Latest slip at Osasuna
Real Madrid in the 2020/21 season have been flawless against the big teams but continue to stumble against the so-called lesser sides, with the latest disappointment coming in the form of a 0-0 draw with Osasuna.
With those two points dropped at The Sadar on Saturday, Los Blancos have let ten points slip against teams that they are expected to defeat quite comfortably.
The bad run against these modest teams began with the home defeat to Cadiz on Matchday 6 and, just days later, slipped to another loss against Shakhtar Donetsk which kicked off their first mini-crisis of the season.
On Matchday 11 of LaLiga Santander came another home defeat, that time to Alaves, in a game where Zinedine Zidane‘s side showed fight to get back in the match, but only when it was too late.
Coincidentally, that loss was quickly followed by a second defeat to Shakhtar in the Champions League.
Madrid went on a run of six straight wins after that, before dropping points against Elche.
The latest failure at Osasuna sees Los Blancos still very much in the title debate, just one point behind leaders Atletico Madrid, although their rivals have played three games less.
