Real Madrid have equalled Barcelona’s Spanish record of 39 matches unbeaten in all competitions.
Zinédine Zidane’s team emulated the feat achieved by their great rivals when they defeated Granada 5-0 in their first Liga fixture of 2017. Coincidentally, it was the Santiago Bernabéu club who ended Barcelona’s streak, prevailing 2-1 at the Camp Nou on 2 April 2016 thanks to a late Cristiano Ronaldo goal.
