#3 Madrid's injury bug has cost them the season
Real Madrid went into tonight's fixture without marquee player Gareth Bale, who picked up yet another injury in the previous draw against Villareal.
They were also without Marco Asensio, who's been injured since his substitute appearance against Kashima Antlers, and Mariano Diaz, who's been more absent than present for the Blancos so far this season.
Real Madrid has been having injury concerns throughout the season. Every player in the starting XI, barring Courtois, have faced a spell on the sidelines.
An already weakened squad keeps getting weaker with every game it seems, as the knocks and suspensions keep piling up for the capital club.
Julen Lopetegui's reign fell apart due to several injuries striking at once and no adequate cover available, and Solari's reign is taking an eerily similar turn, as the Argentinian has faced three losses in his time at the hot seat, despite not facing a truly worthy adversary.
