"So now I'm jinxed, am I?" the Frenchman said two days after Real suffered a shock 1-0 defeat by Real Betis. "Before I was the shining star... No, no, I've always been a shining star, don't worry. I'm at this club and I make the absolute most of being here. I don't think about bad luck, that's part of football and the good news is that we have a match. We have the chance to be able to change that quickly and we'll do it."
In the space of just five games Real have gone from red-hot La Liga title favourites to trailing rivals Barcelona by seven points ahead today's trip to Alaves. When Madrid beat Barca 5-1 in the Spanish Super Cup last month, Zidane's men were expected to romp to the title.
