The Unbeaten Streak Continues: A Year Without Defeat
Real Madrid’s impressive unbeaten streak in the league has reached 39 games, a feat that spans over an entire season. The team has not suffered a defeat in the league since September 24, 2023, when they lost to Atlético Madrid. Moreover, they have not been beaten in any competitive game since January 18, 2024, a remarkable 34-game streak.
Atlético Madrid is the only team to have defeated Real Madrid this season, and their encounters have been nothing short of thrilling. When the two teams met in the league earlier this year, the match ended in a 1-1 draw. Real Madrid’s manager, Carlo Ancelotti, knows the importance of this derby and has expressed his admiration for his counterpart, Diego Simeone.
As the two teams prepare to face off again, several questions arise. How will Real Madrid’s lineup change with the injury of their star player, Kylian Mbappé? Will they adopt a more direct approach, or will they focus on building moves from the back? The absence of Mbappé will undoubtedly be felt, but the team has been working on finding a balance between defense and attack.
One player who could make a significant impact is Jude Bellingham, who has been evolving into a more all-round midfielder. His physical qualities and work rate make him an asset to the team. Another option could be Eduardo Camavinga, who might finally be fit to play.
The derby also marks a special occasion for English players on both sides, with Bellingham representing Real Madrid and Conor Gallagher playing for Atlético Madrid. Who will come out on top?
In the meantime, young Brazilian sensation Endrick is waiting in the wings, eager to make his mark. With two goals and an assist in just 47 minutes of Champions League action, he is certainly one to watch.
As the teams prepare for battle, one thing is certain – the Madrid derby is always a clash of titans, with bragging rights and local pride on the line.
