Real Madrid's title hopes have been dented after a dour 0-0 draw with Deportivo La Coruna.
The result leaves Jose Mourinho's men seven points adrift of leaders Barcelona.
Madrid dominated the match but a mixture of the woodwork, good goalkeeping by Depor custodian Daniel Aranzubia and poor finishing meant the capital club endured another miserable trip to the Riazor.
Madrid had gone 18 years without a win at Depor's home prior to last season's 3-1 victory, and this slip-up means Barca are a step closer to winning their third successive Primera Division crown.
