Real Madrid suffered an astonishing 4-0 defeat at third-tier side Alcorcon in the King’s Cup on Tuesday, humiliated in the first leg by a club with a budget more than 400 times smaller than the La Liga giants.

Real were missing their two most expensive signings, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, as well as several other key players, but were undone by a club with a 1.1 million euro ($1.6 million) annual budget compared to Real’s 420 million. It was the third defeat in five matches for Manuel Pellegrini’s side and piled more pressure on the Chilean coach after Saturday’s 0-0 draw at Sporting Gijon and last week’s 3-2 home defeat to AC Milan in the Champions League.

A fired-up Alcorcon, who play in the same league as Real’s youth team Castilla, laid siege to the visitors’ goal in the frantic early stages, forcing Jerzy Dudek into a couple of smart saves with shots from distance.

Former Real youth player Borja Gomez gave Alcorcon a shock lead in the 16th minute when he cut in from the right and curled a precise shot into the bottom left corner. Spain defender Alvaro Arbeloa inexplicably clipped the ball into his own net six minutes later before Fernando Bejar headed against Dudek’s leftpost.

Ernesto Gomez made it three five minutes before the break, sidefooting home Diego Cascon’s cross from the right, and Borja pounced on a loose ball to make it four in the 52nd minute. The second leg will be played at the Bernabeu in two weeks.
