Same story for Real Madrid after international break

Real Madrid suffered their fourth loss in five games and set an unwanted new record with a defeat by Levante at the Bernabeu.

The result put further pressure on coach Julen Lopetegui, whose side remain fifth in La Liga, three points behind leaders Alaves and a point behind Barcelona, who have both yet to play.

Lopetegui's side were stung twice inside 13 minutes when first Jose Luis Morales and then Roger Marti, from the spot, scored, according to BBC.

Real produced several great chances, with the woodwork and great saves from Oier Olazabal coming to the rescue for the visitors.

The final line of defence was finally breached in the 72nd minute when Marcelo fired a rocket past the Levante stopper - that ended a run of 482 minutes of scoring, although it came 17 minutes too late to prevent them from breaking the mark set back in 1985.
