Real Madrid are stunned after relegation from the Spanish Cup by Alciano from the third division - and Spain are wondering whether the sensational loss will have immediate consequences for Zinedine Zidane.
The Blancos coach last night counted a master’s degree that was lost in six days, following the relegation in the Super Cup semi-final by Bilbao, and the pressure on him seems to be mounting.
Yesterday's loss probably reduced Zidane's status to the lowest point in which he was at Real, partly due to the circumstances - a 2: 1 loss in extra time to a team from the third division in Spain, with the Blancos absorbing the decisive goal with a numerical advantage, and displaying a very nervous ability.
It was only Real Lalquiano's third loss in history, and the first after 70 years.
Even then the modest team ousted the Blancos in the Cup with the same result.
In addition, this is only the fifth time that Real have been relegated from the cup by a team from the third division.
The last time was in the 2015/16 season, when Real surrendered to Cadiz.

"I'm the coach, so it's my responsibility. It's always like that," said the stressed Zidane at the end when asked about his future.
Despite this, Zizu insisted that this was not a particularly embarrassing loss.
"It's not a shame, I would not define it that way. Such things can happen in football. It is a painful day for the club, because we lost and we always hate to lose. But we are not going to go crazy because of this loss, but continue to work and think what can be done better later. "We still have goals in the Spanish league and in the Champions League, we must concentrate and do everything possible."
Asked if he feels the players support him, Zidane replied: "We are all in the same boat. I believe they support me, but I have to ask them. I am confident in my status, but days will tell what will happen."
But despite the optimistic statements, in Spain it is reported that the relationship between Zidane and the players is "more unsettled than ever", with or without regard to the shameful relegation.
"Marca" quoted an anonymous player after the game and testified that Zidane had not exchanged a word with a large part of the players for two months.
Something is not working.

"The club claim that Zidane of this term is very different from Zidane of the previous term," they wrote.
"He picked a certain core of players he went with, leaving everything else out completely. He does not communicate with the young players, and some do not want to stay on the team. He has distanced himself from most of the players on the team, and is receiving more and more criticism from the locker room. The club is approaching, and it has not started since today. "
The popular TV show "El Cheringito" showed the pictures that reveal the alleged rift between Zidane and the players, when during the extra time the assistant coach is seen briefing the players, and not the coach himself standing to the side with a frozen look.
At the same time, Spain have made it clear that for the time being, Real have no intention of firing Zidane immediately.
According to reports, the Blancos understand that the current season is "already lost", so they find no point in replacing Zidane with another coach.
In the summer, however, Zidane may pay the price and it is highly doubtful whether he will survive the expected revolution at the club, which should also include a series of staff changes.
