Real Madrid’s goal drought their worst since 1985

Real Madrid are suffering their worst goal drought in 33 years following a stunning 1-0 loss to Deportivo Alaves on Saturday.

Manu Garcia’s last-gasp header earned a shock win for the minnows, at the end of another toothless attacking display from Madrid.

Julen Lopetegui’s side have now failed to score in four consecutive games in all competitions, having also drawn blanks against Sevilla, Atletico Madrid and CSKA Moscow.

Madrid last went four matches without scoring way back in April 1985, during a streak that ultimately stretched to five fixtures.

After the international break, Los Blancos will aim to end their barren run in a home game against Levante on 20 October.
