Champion's Pace? Real Madrid's Incredible Streak in La Liga
Real Madrid keeps winning, extending their unbeaten streak in league matches to 24, something that hasn't happened since 1997.
The Real Madrid responded once again to Barcelona's victory with another win, this time against Athletic Club de Bilbao (2-0), maintaining the 8-point gap between them.
This victory adds to Real Madrid's impeccable streak in La Liga, as they have now gone 24 consecutive league matches without defeat (18 wins and 6 draws).
Such a record hasn't been achieved by Real Madrid since the 1996-1997 season under the guidance of Fabio Capello.
Real Madrid's only defeat this season in La Liga came in the derby against Atlético Madrid on September 24th. Since then, they have remained unbeaten in the domestic league with an unstoppable run.
Their next opponent, Mallorca, will attempt to end that streak. After that, they face Barcelona in the Clásico, a match that could define the championship, especially if Real Madrid secures the victory.
