10 La Liga records which are here to stay

#2 Longest unbeaten home run: Real Madrid - 121

There are records that can be broken and then there are facts such as this which can only be classified as data. During the years between 1956 and 1965, Real Madrid did not lose at their home stadium. This team, often called the greatest club team of all ages, refused to give an inch of the Santiago Bernebeau to any visiting team for 9 years.

Alfredo di Stefano was the greatest player in this team of a stars – starting as centre-forward but dropping back to midfield, and even helping to organise the defence. Gento was one of best left wingers in history and the team gained a star to rival Di Stefano when Ferenc Puskas joined in 1958 after defecting from communist Hungary. The idea of a team of stars has defined the club to the present day, but no generation could ever match up to this generation of Los Blancos.

They won the European Cup for an incredible run of five consecutive years, and reached two other finals in this period. They also won 7 La Liga titles in these 9 years.
