#2 Flop Gonzalo Verdu Elche

Elche captain Gonzalo Elche endured a torrid game against the defending champions as his side were bullied for the majority of the game. The 33-year-old was clueless as to how to deal with the pace of the visitors and how to regroup as Real Madrid had Elche scrambling on every counter.

All in all, a game to forget for the skipper as his side continue to pursue their first win of the season.
