Real Madrid have made their mark in Lisbon in the Champions League knockout stages. The Madrid team won 1-0 at Benfica, extending their lead in the league. Alvaro Arbeloa's men have registered their fourth consecutive win - meaning that they are now unstoppable.
This victory is no coincidence, as Real Madrid have been beating their opponents one after another in recent weeks. Earlier, Madrid defeated Sociedad 4-1, then Valencia 2-0, and then Rayo Vallecano 2-1. Now Benfica also failed to withstand this pressure.
The overall picture is even more interesting: Real Madrid has won seven of the last eight matches in all competitions. That is, the team is getting results in almost every match, has rhythm, confidence, and a “final every day” mood.
The only defeat in this period was recorded in the last round of the Champions League general stage against Benfica (2-4). That night was especially memorable: goalkeeper Anatoly Trubin became the author of the goal. Football is like that - sometimes the unexpected hero writes the script. But this time Real Madrid calmly covered that “pain”: minimum score, maximum result.
Now the next stop for Madrid is La Liga: Real Madrid will face Osasuna on February 21. For the fans, the main question is simple: can this form and this streak continue? If this momentum continues, Real Madrid will be in contention for a big thing this season.
