The crisis at Real Madrid has been prolonged by a 1-0 defeat at Alaves, a match which featured very few positive performances from the players in white.
Backup right-back Alvaro Odriozola impressed, but there weren't many others who can stand tall after this showing.
Below, each of Julen Lopetegui's men are rated, as well as the coach himself.
Thibaut Courtois
Until 57 minutes, he didn't have a save to make, but did do well to keep out Ruben Duarte before there was a scare following a shot from Jony.
He didn't cover himself in glory in commanding his six-yard box for the goal.
Alvaro Odriozola
He was the best offensive player for Los Blancos and he nullified the danger down his flank, while taking risks and looking like the one who most likely to help his side score.
Raphael Varane
Attentive defensively, he came out on top in almost all of the duels he contested.
Sergio Ramos
He quickly became embroiled in a battle with Jonathan Calleri and sparks flew throughout, but he couldn't win the aerial duel at the end which led to Manu Garcia scoring.
Nacho
His ability in defence is indisputable, but in games like the one against Alaves his presence, or lack of it, in attack is a downside.
Toni Kroos
The Real Madrid midfielder understood that the easiest way for him to try to create openings was to find Odriozola and the German continuously looked to the right flank in an attempt to break the deadlock, although he went missing in the final stretch.
Luka Modric
He is lacking the spark which lit up his performances last season and is unable to exert the control he used to have on the game.
Casemiro
He tried to break down the Alaves wall with a couple of shots from distance, but it was a game in which the lack of creativity in his game penalised the side, even if he did provide a rhythm and consistency.
Dani Ceballos
The midfielder often took the wrong option, dribbling at one man too many and hanging onto the ball too long before passing.
Gareth Bale
He wasn't involved on a consistent basis, but before he went off he did still give off the impression that if something was going to happen for his side then it would be the Welshman who had something to do with it.
Karim Benzema
The striker was taken off at half-time, following a first 45 minutes in which he again showed that anyone who is defending him faces an ever more difficult argument.
Mariano
He gave Madrid a pure penalty box predator when he came on, but he had as much luck as Karim Benzema because his teammates couldn't find him either.
Marco Asensio
As a substitute, Julen Lopetegui turned to him in an attempt to change the game and, again, more was expected of him than he actually contributed.
Vinicius Junior
He was the last throw of the dice, in response to Gareth Bale leaving the field, but time was against him, particularly given that the team were struggling to translate their dominance in possession into dangerous chances.
Julen Lopetegui
Six long hours without a goal is an unwanted statistic linked to his name and, after the initial bright start with five changes, he didn't know how to turn things in his team's favour.
