On the other hand, Madrid were held to a 0-0 draw by Osasuna in their last away match in the league which was played on 9 January 2021.
The draw extended the Whites' unbeaten run to five matches on road in La Liga having recorded three draws and two wins.
Zinedine Zidane, the Madrid manager, promised that his side will bounce back following their recent defeat to Athletic Bilbao in the Supercopa de Espana.
"We've had a good run, playing well, winning games and it's true that we've now not won for three games, drawing two and losing tonight," Zidane said.
"But we need to keep working hard and look to turn things around quickly. That's it, we can't do much more.
"We're focused on ourselves because we know that they're going to talk about us from the outside. We're going to get through this as a team".
