Real aren't in crisis yet but Zinedine Zidane needs to halt the slide quickly

Real Madrid have now lost two straight games in all competitions and while that may prompt some to view it as a cataclysmic event, in fact, it's not entirely unusual. It's happened on 12 different occasions in the past 10 years. Heck, it happened most recently earlier this year with Zinedine Zidane at the helm.

Back in January, they lost away to Sevilla in the league (2-1) and then fell at home to Celta Vigo in the first leg of the Copa del Rey quarterfinal. It happens.

Now, were Madrid to make it three in a row -- which is rather unlikely given they're at home to Las Palmas this weekend -- it might be a different matter.
