Real Madrid manager Julen Lopetegui's troubles picked up where they left off following thesbo bz sbobet international break with a 2-1 defeat to Levante on Saturday afternoon at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid.A club-record eight hours and one minute later, Los Blancos managed to break their goal-less drought through a Marcelo goal in the 72nd minute, but it came with Real on the wrong side of a 2-0 scoreline after a seventh minute goal from the excellent Jose Luis Morales and a penalty conversion from Roger in the 13th minute.The defeat extends Real's losing streak to three matches and their winless skid to five, surely making for an insufferable week for Lopetegui ahead of El Clasico against Barcelona next Sunday. Real could also call themselves dreadfully unlucky on the day, as they hit the woodwork three times. But full credit is also due to Levante, who played bravely by showing inventivenesssbo bz sbobet in attack and full sacrifice in defence.There were certainly some surprises in Lopetegui's starting XI, beginning up top. Stalwarts Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale were nowhere to be found; instead it was a trio of Lucas Vazquez, Marco Asensio and Mariano. Isco also made a return to the starting line-up, while Dani Carvajal's injury resulted in another start for Adrian Odriozola at right-back.
