Real Madrid suffers a shock the defeat at home against Cádiz

Real Madrid will face Barcelona in the first Clásico of the season next week after a shocking 1-0 loss at home to Cádiz.

Zinedine Zidane made a series of changes to his Real Madrid team, with Casemiro and Fede Valverde who left after having traveled a long distance in the international break and Isco and Lucas Vázquez entered.

Cádiz came close to taking a lead in the clash in the 90th minute when Álvaro Negredo had a shot cleared off the line by Sergio Ramos, and Anthony Lozano also rejected a good opportunity to give the visitors an advantage.

Lozano, however, found the back of the net after 16 minutes, bursting behind the Real Madrid defense after a Negredo knockdown to mark a quiet finish over Courtois. It was the least they deserved from a first part they dominated.

The hosts made four changes for the start of the second half, with Marco Asensio, Casemiro, Eder Militao and Fede Valverde, all introduced while Sergio Ramos retired with a knee injury.

Even after these changes, Real Madrid still struggled to create a lot and suffered a defeat that opens the door for Barça to join them at the top of La Liga with a win over Getafe on Saturday night.

Sergio Ramos’s injury leaves Real Madrid sweating for El Clásico. The sight of Ramos in the stands for the start of the second half with an ice pack on his left knee was perhaps the only thing more worrying for Real Madrid than the scoreboard. Next week will see Los Blancos face a Champions League game and the first Clásico of the season and they may have to play without their spiritual leader on the field.

Anthony Lozano (Cádiz): The two Cádiz forwards of Negredo and Lozano gave Real Madrid problems from start to finish, but it was the latter who contributed the most vanguard in front of the goal, scoring what turned out to be the triumph of the match. The Honduran could have scored more than one, but it was the biggest difference between the two sides. Real Madrid lacked a frontman like Lozano.
