Mourinho's influence on the team goes beyond good performances and excellent results. His Real Madrid has had the best start to La Liga in 19 years thanks to taking 20 points in eight games (6 victories, 2 draws), a first in the Club's history since three points are awarded per victory in the championship. The team also remains undefeated at this stage, which hasn't happened since the 1997/98 campaign.
Mourinho's side has managed to score 16 goals in its last three league games (6-1, 1-4, 6-1) and 22 overall in the competition. At the Bernabeu, the Whites have scored 16 strikes and conceded only 2 so far. Overall, the team has only conceded 4 goals in the league this season, all in the second halves of games.
Since 5 August, Real Madrid haven't lost a single game, including three Champions League matches against Ajax, Auxerre and AC Milan.
