When Real Madrid hosts Real Betis on Sunday, they'll aim to get back to winning ways after being held to a draw midweek.
After drawing their first two league games, the visitors are looking for their first La Liga victory.
Perhaps everyone expected Real Madrid to start their first La Liga season with Kylian Mbappe at the centre of things after the team defeated Atalanta 2-0 in the UEFA Super Cup.
In the end, though, Real Madrid and Mbappe have had a few disappointing outcomes, notably a 1-1 draw in their league debut against Mallorca at Son Moix.

Real Madrid Team News:-
Jude Bellingham, an England international, is still sidelined for Real Madrid after he suffered a leg injury prior to their most recent home match against Real Valladolid.
While Eduardo Camavinga is recuperating from a knee injury he suffered prior to the UEFA Super Cup, David Alaba is still working on his recovery from an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
Jesus Vallejo, the defence, is still doubtful for Sunday's game after missing the previous two because of an injury.
Following a few lineup adjustments during the week, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti might seize the chance to call up Dani Carvajal, Arda Guler, and Rodrygo.
Expected Lineup (4-2-3-1) :- Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Mendy; Tchouameni, Valverde; Guler, Rodrygo, Vinicius; Mbappe
Manchester City Team News:-
Marc Bartra, the defender, is doubtful for Sunday's trip to the Santiago Bernabeu after missing Thursday's European match.
Chimy Avila was also not in the starting lineup during the middle of the week, but he should be well enough to return.
But now that he's moved to Al-Jazira Club in the United Arab Emirates, attacker Nabil Fekir is no longer available for Betis to use.
