Real have failed to win any of their first three La Liga home games for only the third time-finishing sixth on both previous occasions. Could Zidane get sacked before the new year? Ronaldo came back from a ban but Los Blancos still slipped to a shock loss at home to Betis that leaves them seven points off top spot. According  Goal , problems at home for Real Madrid.

And even with Cristiano Ronaldo back, Zinedine Zidane's side risk falling out of contention in the Primera Division. League titles are not decided in the fifth round of 38 fixtures and there is a long, long way to go.
