Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona suffer their worst start since 2005/06 LaLiga Only 28 points between them

This LaLiga Santander season has had an unusual start so far, and the big three are all falling below the level expected of them.

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have already raised questions about them.

Diego Simeone's approach is being questioned again, Ernesto Valverde is under pressure, and Zinedine Zidane is also finding his position difficult.

Even despite Los Blancos' big 1-0 win at Sevilla, they're still only on 11 points from their five games and surprisingly sit level on points with first-placed Athletic Club.

That tally sees them ahead of both Atletico on eight points and Barcelona on seven but their combined totals only equate to 28 points from a possible 45, meaning 17 have already been dropped.

These figures represent their worst start between them, along with the 2011/12 season, since 2005/06 when they had just 21 points from 45.

The 21 century's worst Barcelona

Valverde has problems and the mini-crisis isn't showing signs of letting up just yet. With seven points, they haven't even achieved half of the points on offer.

The best came in 2013/14

Spain's big three managed 43 points from the first 45 on offer in 2013/14, with only Real Madrid drawing one of their opening five.
