#2 Setting a new record for most consecutive unbeaten matches
After an agonizing one-point La Liga loss to Barcelona the previous season and securing Champions League victory in his first season, it could very well be said that it was a successful experiment to put Zidane in charge.
But he went one step further in the next. After snapping Barcelona’s 39-match unbeaten streak with the El Clasico win, Zidane created a new record with a 40-match unbeaten run. Real drew with Sevilla in the second leg of the Copa Del Rey to achieve the incredible feat.
With that draw, Zidane moved past Luis Enrique’s record of most consecutive unbeaten matches which he himself had stopped in the previous season.
