Málaga suffer their second-worst start in Primera history
Five draws and six defeats in eleven matchdays: only the 2017/18 start was worse, and that season ended in relegation.
Málaga have collected five points from a possible 33 after eleven Primera matchdays, their second-worst start in the top flight, according to MARCA. Five draws and six defeats, and still no win: Funes' side have lost to Real Madrid, Villarreal, Getafe, Real Sociedad, Alavés and Betis.
Only the 2017/18 start was worse. That Míchel side had four points at this stage and finished bottom with 20, going down. Even so, Málaga have recovered from bad starts before: in 2009/10 they stayed up after a rough beginning, and in 2008/09 they finished eighth after taking one point from their first four matches.
Now the priority is to string together a first win quickly to change the trend, with the club a point and a half away from leaving the relegation zone.
