Real Madrid in dreamland after record 16th win in a row
Coach Carlo Ancelotti can't believe it
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said he felt like he was dreaming after watching his team secure a club record 16th consecutive victory with Saturday’s 2-1 success at Malaga in La Liga.
Ancelotti’s side have won all their games across the Spanish top flight, the Champions League and the King’s Cup since falling 2-1 at home to Atletico Madrid in La Liga in September, beating the previous longest winning streak of 15 matches set in 1960-61 and 2011-12.
“This seems like a dream,” Ancelotti told a news conference at Malaga’s Rosaleda stadium after strikes from Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale earned three more points for the La Liga leaders.
“We are very happy with the run and hopefully it will continue,” added the Italian, who led Real to a record-extending 10th European title last season in his first term in charge.
