Since then, Real Madrid has rebounded, achieving a series of 21 matches without losing, but it was stopped once again against Los Rojiblancos, losing 4-2 after extra time in the King’s Cup final on January 16.
This victory was revenge for the loss two weeks ago to the Royal Club 3-5 after extra time in the semi-finals of the Super Cup in Riyadh, which Real won again with a landslide victory over Barcelona 4-1 in the final match.
