In the early hours of Monday morning, Real Madrid continued their three-match winning streak in La Liga with a 2-0 home victory over Bilbao, thanks to a brace from Rodrigo Gómez. Under the astute command of coach Ancelotti, the "Galactic Armada" has now gone 24 consecutive matches without a loss in the league this season, the longest unbeaten streak in a single season since the 1996/97 season, and is eight points ahead of second-place Barcelona, further solidifying its momentum in the title race.
Lodi Gorgos had scored a goal for Brazil in an earlier international warm-up match, a 3-3 draw with Spain. This time in La Liga, he scored twice more. The 23-year-old striker took the lead in the eighth minute of the match with a powerful shot from the top of the box. In the second half, Real Madrid launched a counterattack when Zudbinenham's diagonal pass led to Lodigos bursting into the box from the left and calmly breaking through the defense to become the winner.
It's worth noting that Binningham has contributed 20 goals and 10 assists in all competitions this season, becoming the first La Liga player to achieve that feat this season.
There is another piece of good news for Real Madrid. Midfielder Ada Miredao, who has been recovering from an injury since mid-August last year, came on as a substitute in this match and officially announced his comeback, which undoubtedly adds to the team's competitive strength.
Looking back at the 1996/97 season, Real Madrid went undefeated in 24 consecutive league matches under Kabiru, eventually winning the title with 16 wins and 8 draws. Coach Angelo Anciarotti has 18 wins and 6 draws so far this season, equaling Kabiru's record that year. Given Real Madrid's current strength, I believe Antsalotti is capable of setting a new undefeated record.
