Vitoria, Spain: Real Madrid sank to a shock 1-0 defeat by Alaves on Saturday after a 95th-minute winner from Manu Garcia consigned the European champions to a fourth game without victory.
It is four games without a goal too for Julen Lopetegui's side, their longest scoring drought since 1985, as Garcia headed home to send the Mendizorrotza Stadium wild.
Alaves fans ran onto the pitch to celebrate their famous win and the chants continued long after the final whistle blew.
