Real Madrid Breaks 10-Year La Liga Drought with Historic Achievement
Real Madrid's commanding triumph over Valencia on Saturday represented their 10th straight La Liga victory at the Santiago Bernabéu, establishing their most impressive home league winning sequence since 2013.
Xabi Alonso's team displayed ruthless efficiency as they dominated a faltering Valencia squad in a comprehensive 4–0 victory. The result left Real Madrid fans who packed the Bernabéu thoroughly pleased, continuing a trend that has persisted throughout every home league fixture since early April.
To discover a superior Real Madrid home form in La Liga, one must look back more than 12 years. Los Blancos achieved a remarkable 14-match La Liga home winning sequence that concluded in September 2013. This streak covered two campaigns, beginning under José Mourinho's management and finishing under Carlo Ancelotti's guidance.
Interestingly, Real Madrid's present streak commenced with the Italian coach at the helm. The winning sequence started with a 1–0 triumph over Athletic Club on April 20, marking the first of four victories Ancelotti supervised to initiate this positive momentum. Since assuming managerial duties, Alonso has maintained an unblemished home La Liga record, securing six consecutive victories.
Paradoxically, Valencia inflicted Real Madrid's most recent home La Liga defeat when they overcame Los Blancos 2–1 on April 25 with Ancelotti managing. Eleven days following that loss, Arsenal defeated Real Madrid in the Champions League, marking the final occasion the 15-time European Champions suffered a home defeat.
