On Tuesday, Real Madrid took a step closer to assuming full ownership of a very remarkable La Liga record.
After everything was said and done, Lucas Vázquez, Kylian Mbappé, and Rodrygo all scored goals to put Carlo Ancelotti’s team on the winning side—3-2.
Real Madrid’s run of seven straight games without a loss in La Liga was increased in this process.
However, the history of this streak truly goes back a very long way.
In total, the capital giants have won all 39 of their games in the Spanish premier division without suffering a single setback.
This is the second-longest winning streak in the competition’s history; only Barcelona, the rival team in the 2018 Clásico, has gone undefeated longer.
So, how far does Real Madrid currently stand from the Blaugrana record?
According to statisticians Opta, Real Madrid would set a new record with just one more game, while Los Merengues would need to win their remaining four La Liga games to tie their bitterest rivals.
Their success will depend on their current form, squad performance, and tactical execution in upcoming matches.
