While Real Betis and Real Madrid played to a scoreless draw on Saturday night to end Real Madrid’s La Liga campaign, the attention was entirely focused on Toni Kroos’ departure from the Santiago Bernabeu. It was a game that ended a run, though, and got another remarkable statistic.

 

 

 

 

According to MD, Real Madrid had scored in each of their last 38 games, but Betis were the first team to hold Real Madrid scoreless since Rayo Vallecano in early November. Additionally, they have now gone 32 games undefeated since their lone league loss of the season came at the hands of Atletico Madrid. This record ranks third all-time, and they are now only four games behind Ernesto Valverde’s Barcelona, who also went 36 games undefeated.

But as Euan McTear pointed out, Real Madrid were undefeated in the Bernabeu for the entire season after beating Betis. They had not won a home game in 27 years, thus this is the first time that has happened.Real Madrid have a home record of 20 wins, 5 draws, 62 goals scored, and 15 goals conceded this season. With thirteen shutouts at home, manager Carlo Ancelotti was quick to point up the team’s defensive improvements compared to previous year.
