The last 40 days have seen Real Madrid win nine games in a row and maintain their perfect start to the 2022/23 season, however the team from the Spanish capital have been in super form for almost 600 days now.
This streak includes the end of the 2020/21 season, the whole of last year and the start of the current campaign.
Since February 2021, Real Madrid have played 89 games in all competitions, with a record of 63 wins, 16 draws and 10 defeats. That means Los Blancos have won 71 percent of their games in that time.
If we focus on just LaLiga Santander, that win percentage increases to 73 percent, with 45 wins, 13 draws and four defeats over 62 matches played. In other words, Real Madrid have won 148 points out of a possible 186, which is 80 percent.
When compared with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid‘s last 62 games in LaLiga Santander, Real Madrid have taken 20 points more than their Catalan rivals and 31 points more than cross town opponents.
Barcelona have taken 69 percent of the available points, while Atletico have taken 62 percent of the points on offer.
But, why are we only considering games since February 2021? Well, because that was the moment when Real Madrid began to emerge from its last sporting crisis, when Zinedine Zidane almost lost his job.
In January of 2021, Real Madrid had crashed out of the Supercopa de Espana, the Copa del Rey and suffered their umpteenth slip-up in LaLiga Santander with a defeat to Levante at home, leaving them 10 points behind Atletico Madrid.
One defeat in the final four months of 2020/21
After hitting rock bottom, Real Madrid bounced back. Their last four months of competition during the 2020/21 season were stellar.
They beat Huesca on February 6, and did not lose again in LaLiga Santander until 22 May. With the team securing 13 wins and five draws, that led them to fight for the title until the last matchday.
In the Champions League, they reached the semi-finals against Chelsea, who handed them their only defeat during that period. In total, 16 wins, 7 draws and one defeat was Real Madrid‘s record in the last four months of the 2020/21 season, an outstanding record that was only marred by the failure to win any titles.
Unchallenged during the last league season
Real Madrid took that form into last season with Carlo Ancelotti. They were unrivalled in LaLiga Santander and won the title with four games to go, with 26 wins, eight draws and four defeats, scoring 86 points out of a possible 114 (77 percent), with the last four games essentially dead rubber ties.
Real Madrid won three of the four titles they contested and ended their season with 39 wins, eight draws and nine defeats in 56 matches.
Real Madrid’s perfect start to 2022/23
This season, the team haven’t taken their foot off the accelerator and boast an unblemished record with nine wins in nine games.
They have already secured the UEFA Super Cup, currently lead LaLiga Santander and top their Champions League group. The team also won the Madrid derby, beating Atletico Madrid at the Civitas Metropolitano.
This devastating start to the season consolidates Real Madrid‘s super form over the last year and a half.
