Real Madrid set a new Spanish record of 40 matches unbeaten


Real Madrid set a new Spanish record of 40 matches unbeaten as Karim Benzema's 93rd-minute goal snatched a 3-3 draw at Sevilla in the Copa del Rey last 16. Zinedine Zidane's side were last beaten by Wolfsburg in their Champions League quarter-final first leg in April. Barcelona held the previous record of 39 games, set under manager Luis Enrique between 2015 and 2016.
Former Juventus, Real and France midfielder Zidane, 44, was appointed in January 2016 after two years managing their reserve team. He has since won more titles than he has lost matches - winning the Champions League, the Club World Cup and the Uefa Super Cup, while suffering only two defeats. Real have won 31 and drawn nine matches since their last defeat, scoring 115 goals and conceding 39.
