Real Madrid with worst league start in seven years
The "Royals" last started the season with so few points in 2019 under Zinedine Zidane.
The derby defeat against Atletico Madrid was Real Madrid's second league defeat of the current season, marking the "Royals'" worst league start in seven years.
The team led by coach José Mourinho currently has 15 points after five wins and two defeats. Their first league defeat came against Betis Sevilla (0-1).
Real last had 15 points after seven LaLiga matchdays in the 2019/20 season under coach Zinedine Zidane. Back then, the Madrid side was top of the table with four wins and three draws. This year, Real is already six points behind leaders FC Barcelona.
Real Covers Least Ground
What also gives cause for concern: The "Royals" are the team in the league that covers the fewest kilometers per game.
According to current data from Sofascore, Kylian Mbappé & Co. cover an average of 96.51 kilometers per match, placing them in last position.
Celta Vigo is in first place with 107.13 kilometers. Barcelona is at approximately 104.6 kilometers.
