Their unbeaten streak continued in the 2016-17 season as they continued to impress.

With a 5-0 bashing of Granada, Real Madrid equaled Barcelona's 39-match unbeaten streak from the previous season.

In their next match, Real were up against Sevilla in the second leg of the Copa Del Ray Round of 16.

Sevilla took the lead through a Danilo own goal but Real equalised through Marco Asensio. Sevilla took a 3-1 lead thanks to goals from Stevan Jovetic and Vicente Iborra.

Sergio Ramos pulled one back for Real through an 83rd minute penalty. However, it seemed like Real's unbeaten streak was about to end.

In injury time, Karim Benzema shot home the equaliser to tie the game and extend Real Madrid's unbeaten streak to 40 games, a record for a Spanish club.

Real Madrid's unbeaten streak was eventually broken by Sevilla.
