Real Madrid slumped to a 1-0 defeat at Sevilla on Saturday as Jose Mourinho's defending champions suffered a second defeat in four matches, their worst start to a La Liga season in over a decade.
Piotr Trochowski got the only goal for Sevilla as Real's haul of just four points so far condemned the Spanish giants to their most damaging opening since the 2001-02 season.
Real are also eight points behind rivals Barcelona who won 4-1 at Getafe to retain their 100 percent record.
Trochowski grabbed the winner when the German international was quickest to react to a corner after just two minutes.

Barcelona made it four wins in four games with a 4-1 victory at Getafe.
Brazilian full-back Adriano grabbed an early lead for Barca before Lionel Messi left the bench to grab a double, to make it six league goals for him, and assure the points for the Catalan side.
Pablo Sarabia got a late consolation for the home side before the recovering David Villa also came off the bench to claim his second of the season.
Cesc Fabregas made a probing run from deep on 32 minutes before stabbing the ball into the path of Adriano who needed only one touch to grab his second goal in two games for the opener.
Messi appeared with 30 minutes remaining to slot home a penalty on 74 minutes after Juan Valera had tripped Pedro Rodriguez.
Four minutes later, Messi was on hand to finish a cross from Martin Montoya before Villa rounded-off a straightforward victory.

Malaga beat Levante 3-1 to record their best ever start to a La Liga season with 10 points from four games to stay two points behind Barca in second position.
New signing, and former Real Madrid forward, Javier Saviola was the instigator with the first goal before providing an assist for Joaquin Sanchez, either side of the break.
Michel had pulled Levante level just after the interval but Malaga deserved the victory and youngster Francisco Portillo rounded of the scoring in the last minute.
