Real Madrid bottom of October form table

Three defeats during the month of October left managerless Real Madrid bottom of the La Liga form table.

Real Madrid had the worst record of any team in La Liga during October after a miserable month that concluded with Julen Lopetegui's sacking on Monday .

Madrid lost all three league matches this month and its minus-six goal difference left it bottom of the form table – below struggler Huesca.

The month opened with a 1-0 defeat away to surprise package Deportivo Alaves, the reverse coming off the back of a loss to Sevilla and draw with Atletico Madrid in late September.

Levante's 2-1 win at the Santiago Bernabeu piled the pressure on Lopetegui, and the coach was dismissed a day after its humbling in El Clasico.

Barcelona won Sunday's clash 5-1 at Camp Nou and its four-goal winning margin left Madrid bottom of the October form table.
