Real Madrid’s famous Alfredo di Stefano team was the last one to chalk up 15 consecutive victories on the trot. Now – 50 years later – Pep Guardiola’s team equalled that record when they beat Hercules 3 – 0.
“It’s an immense honour to have 15 consecutive victories and to equal the record achieved by the Real Madrid of Di Stefano.I am sure some team will equal it or pass it one day but it is something no one has managed for 50 years” he said.
