ANDhe Real Madrid has taken the measure of Italian teams. What was once an ordeal for whites, has become a placid journey because they have won 13 of their last 14 Champions League games.

In fact, Italy is no longer so fierce for Madrid, where it has scored at least one goal in their last 14 Champions League games (24 goals in total), his best historical streak in the competition.

Only Madrid has one defeat in this streak, and it was a sweet defeat, since it meant the pass to the semifinals of the competition. We talk about the meeting against Juventus April 2018. Zinedine Zidane’s team at that time won 0-3 in Turin, the famous match of Cristiano Ronaldo’s Chilean.

The interista table have lost five of their last six games against Real Madrid in European competition, which is more than those suffered against the whites in their first 12 matches, in which they added six victories, two draws and four defeats.
