Real Madrid Starts The New Year With Two Defeats In A Row

 

Real Madrid are so far failing to rise to the challenge that January has in store for them. Two games and two defeats. Four goals scored against them and only one successfully put in the back of the net, from the penalty spot.

'Los Blancos' have hit a wall that threatens to see them crash out of the Copa del Rey.

Real's troubles have not come at a good time, going from being on the brink of entering the Guinness Book of Records to being in jeopardy of kissing a hat-trick of titles goodbye in the very first week of January.

For the second time this season, Ancelotti is dealing with a losing streak of two consecutive defeats. Real previously slipped up against Real Sociedad and Atlético in La Liga and then went on to rack up 22 consecutive victories.
