Real Madrid have suffered their first defeat of the season.

Against the newcomer Cádiz.

– This was a wake-up call for us, says goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

And the result was completely fair. Although Real Madrid had a great advantage in terms of ball possession, it was newcomer Cádiz who created more and better chances.

– Yeah, our first half was really bad. They were better than us in almost every aspect of the game, says Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

“Wake”

Anthony Lozano gave Cadiz the lead with a magnificent free kick in the 16th minute. And that result highlighted the match. Thus, Real Madrid experienced its first defeat at home in the league match since spring 2019 (when they lost to Betis).

– This was a wake-up call for us. Now we have to make sure we beat Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League this week and put our trust in El Clásicot against Barcelona, ​​says Courtois.

Historical result

This was the first time Real Madrid lost at home to a La Liga newcomer and the first time in Cádiz’s 110-year history that they defeated “Los Blancos” in a competitive match (after 16 failed attempts).
