Zidane's Real Madrid equal the unbeaten run of Luis Enrique's Barcelona

Eight months and 39 games have passed since Zinedine Zidane's Real Madrid last tasted defeat, a record that has seen them tie the streak of Luis Enrique's Barcelona - a Spanish record.

It was Real who ended Barcelona's unbeaten run at the end of the 2015/16 season in Zidane's first Clasico as head coach.

The last defeat for Los Blancos was away at Wolfsburg in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in April 2016, and the feat has seen Granada become the latest victim as Real Madrid show no sign of relinquishing this achievement.

To improve on that record and become Spain's all-time leader for a run of fixtures unbeaten in the process, Real Madrid must avoid defeat at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on 12 January; oddly enough, they face each other three days later at the same venue in the league.

Despite these two tough fixtures, Zidane's side have started 2017 excellently.

After beating Sevilla 3-0, Real Madrid followed that up with a 5-0 demolition against Granada on 7 January.

The year of 2016 saw three titles secured for Zidane's team - the Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup - but if the first two games are anything to go by, 2017 could be another great year for the Frenchman.
