Even though Madrid have some of the biggest names at their disposal, all of them a part of the history-making team, they haven't look threatening at all after the first month. They have created an unwanted club record by overhauling their previous worst run of remaining goalless, which was 464 minutes in all competitions in 1984. In the Levante game, the streak reached 481 minutes, until Marcelo pulled one back for the visitors.
Real Madrid were winless in their last five games until that point. It was also their worst start to a season since 2001.
The club lost four of the five matches in all competitions – a draw against Atletico Madrid, and losses to Alaves, Levante and Sevilla, not to forget the 1-0 slump to CSKA in Moscow in the Champions League.
Their winless run continued when after the Levante game, they traveled to Camp Nou, only to be humiliated with a 5-1 scoreline.
