Cristiano Ronaldo and Isco were among the goals as Real matched their great rivals’ tally of 39 games without defeat in all competitions
Real Madrid’s 5-0 demolition of lowly Granada in La Liga on Saturday extended their club-record unbeaten run to 39 matches – bringing them level with Barcelona’s all-time best mark for a Spanish club.
Zinedine Zidane’s side last tasted defeat in April, when they lost 2-0 at Wolfsburg in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final – a deficit they would ultimately overturn on the way to becoming European champions.
They scored four first-half goals against Eibar at the Santiago Bernabeu in a 4-0 win three days on from that setback and repeated the feat as Granada were put to the sword.
