Real Madrid on the backfoot

Spanish giants Real Madrid has now lost 2 big matches and mostly will lose its dominance in the respective leagues. First, they were shocked by Real Betis with a stunner from Royston Drenthe who netted the equalizer. This was a source of inspiration for Betis who went on to score another 2 goals within a short period of time to avoid potential relegation. In the next match, the crucial Champions League encounter with AS Roma, Madrid could not come to terms right from the word go. Losing this match, they now find it very difficult to enter the next round.
