A couple of late goals from Sergio Ramos and Karim Benzema meant that Real Madrid secured a 3-3 comeback draw away at Sevilla and progressed to the next round in Copa Del Rey (6-3 on aggregate), making it 40 games without a defeat in all competitions.

The record was very special for the Real Madrid faithful, considering that Madrid had set a Spanish record beating eternal rivals' Barcelona's record of 39 unbeaten games. The unbeaten run came after Madrid were humbled away to Wolfsburg in April of 2016, the streak lasted until the January of 2017 when Real lost away to Sevilla in the La Liga. Real won 30 of the 40 games with 10 draws along the way, scoring a total of 115 goals during that time.

The unbeaten streak had a mix of some brilliant and gutsy displays, a lot of them being situations where Real had to make a comeback from losing situations in the game. Displays which included a comeback win and a battling draw at the Camp Nou, a remontada against Wolfsburg in the UEFA Champions League and a memorable Champions League final win in Milan against city rivals Atletico.
