Spanish and European champions Real Madrid were unstoppable last season, unless they were facing city rivals Atletico Madrid.

The only two defeats Los Blancos suffered were inflicted by Diego Simeone's side, who host Real Madrid on Sunday in a spicy La Liga derby clash.

Atletico were the last team to beat Madrid in the top flight, just over a year ago, with Carlo Ancelotti's men unbeaten in 39 games since.

The Rojiblancos also turfed Madrid out of the Copa del Rey in January 2024 in the last 16, which is the only loss Madrid have fallen to in the calendar year.
