Real Madrid he has an obligation to win everything every year. It doesn’t matter that the previous campaign succeeded Champions League or the championship title, the Meringue must always win. And at the start of the 2022-2023 season, it is the only thing he has done: kept the three points in the eight official matchesbeing one of the best brands in history.

The SportingNews looks at what is the top line of Madrid’s men, facing a new season full of challenges ahead of the break that will mean an informal World Cup like Qatar 2022.

The team led by Carlo Ancelotti started the season with a win and title vs Eintracht Frankfurt, who won the European Super Cup. Then continue with me five wins in the league more two in the Champions League. This outstanding performance puts him at the top of both competitions.

The record surpasses Madrid’s seven wins in the 2009-2010 season, directed by Chilean Manuel Pellegrini. Also, the six from one of Madrid’s best cycles: the 2016-2017 campaign under Zinedine Zidane.

Who is this team fighting? Marked the teams’ 11 wins from 1961-1962 and 1968-1969. One thing to remember is that in none of those years did Madrid lift the European Cup. In the first, Alfredo Di Stefano’s team lost to Eusebio’s Benfica, while in the other they were eliminated in the round of 16 by Austrian side Rapid Vienna.

What is the best winning streak in Real Madrid’s history?

His current record Meringue De Ancelotti is ideal, although he is still a long way from the record he set in 2014. At that time they had a 22 game winning streak from September 16th to December 20th: 12 in La Liga, 6 in the Champions League, 2 in the Club World Cup and 2 in the Copa del Rey. Valencia stopped him 2-1 at the beginning of 2015.

What is the best unbeaten start to the season in Real Madrid’s history?

The aforementioned team led by Zinedine Zidane in the 2016-2017 season started with seven celebrations in a row, which were interrupted by a draw. However, that year Real Madrid achieved the best start to a season in their history: it was 29 games without defeat. Sevilla beat him 2-1 with an own goal by Sergio Ramos.

What is the best unbeaten streak in Real Madrid’s history?

The aforementioned streak of Zinedine Zidane’s side in the 2016-2017 season is part of the best unbeaten run for the Madrid club. The end of the previous season was also positive: after losing 2-0 to Wolfsburg in the Champions League, those led by the French collected 11 games without defeat. The 29 of the following year complete the record of 40, the best in Spanish football.

Zidane surpassed Luis Enrique’s 39 at Barcelona but was close to the historic European mark: Juventus had 43 matches no decline in 2012.

Secrets of the Real Madrid dressing room: Kroos told how he got along with Vinicius

Former Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos He talked about his interaction with Brazilian striker Vinicius Junior and other representatives of Brazil within the scope of the “royal club”.

“The Brazilians aroused my sympathy even as a child. While playing for Real Madrid, I developed excellent relationships with Vinicius, Casemiro and Militao.

It is very easy to find a common language with these guys: they know how to enjoy life, and their mentality is significantly different from that of the Germans.

Casemiro and Vinicius and I understood each other perfectly on the field and developed a unique football bond with Vini.

We communicated warmly in daily life. I believe that if there is no contact between players off the field, it is extremely difficult to achieve harmony in the game.

I used Vini’s high-speed bursts effectively and he masterfully directed my passes,” AS Kroos reports.

Let’s remember that Kroos defended the jersey of Real Madrid from 2014 to 2024. During this decade the German midfielder won the Champions League five times.
