Real Madrid were thrashed 3-0 by Sevilla on Wednesday night.
Andre Silva scored twice in the first 21 minutes - converting a Jesus Navas cross and then firing home a rebound after Navas' shot was saved.
Gareth Bale hit the post and Sevilla's Franco Vazquez struck the bar at 2-0.
Wissam Ben Yedder volleyed home a third to wrap up the game before half-time - his sixth goal in three games.
Real coach Julen Lopetegui remarked afterwards: "The explanation is that we have made a bad game, with a bad start, where they have imposed themselves and scored two goals, they have entered the game very well and we have not.
"In the second half we began better, we had the chances, some other options, but we must accept the defeat and congratulate Sevilla, we have not been up for it.
"I do not think it was a matter of mentality, it's been a bunch of circumstances that have made us lose the game."
