The team led by Carlo Ancelotti is just one victory or draw away from matching La Liga’s record winning streak.
The Spanish champs haven’t lost in forty-two games in thirteen months.
It is so fitting that their next game will be against bitter rivals Barcelona, who presently hold the record of 43 games without a loss, which was set between 2017 and 2018.
Vinicius and Valverde star: the numbers that drove Real’s run
On September 24, 2023, cross-city rivals Atletico Madrid defeated Real Madrid 3-1.
They have won 31 games, drawn 11 and lost none since.
They won La Liga by a margin of 10 points last season thanks to their run, and they also won the Champions League without losing after defeating Borussia Dortmund in the final.
Federico Valverde, a Uruguayan defensive midfielder who is frequently disregarded, has played in all but one of Real Madrid’s games and been a key player in their run.
Vinicius Junior, meanwhile, has scored 19 league goals for Los Blancos, more than anybody else since that Atletico defeat.
