Real Madrid Set New Spanish Record by Going 40 Games Unbeaten

Real Madrid produced an epic comeback against Sevilla in the Copa del Rey last night when Karim Benzema scored the final kick to give the Spanish giants the draw. With that, the La Liga team took their unbeaten run to 40 games, breaking Barcelona’s record for Spanish clubs. Managed by Zinedine Zidane, his men have not lost a fixture since a 2-0 defeat at Wolfsburg in the Champions League last season, going on to record 30 wins and 10 draws.

This also means Zidane has so far won more trophies — the 2015-16 Champions League, 2016 UEFA Super Cup and 2016 Club World Cup — than he has lost games, having seen defeat just twice since taking over the club a year ago. Madrid’s previous longest unbeaten run was 34 games, set during the 1988-89 campaign when they won the Primera Division title, only losing once in 38 games. Check out the highlights above.
