Real Madrid sealed their fourth league victory of January against Zaragoza after also defeating Granada, Mallorca and Athletic Bilbao. They also won all their matches in the championship in October against Espanyol, Betis, Malaga, Villarreal and Real Sociedad; and in November over Osasuna, Valencia and Atletico. They are the only side to do this more than once in the competition this season; only Barcelona have also managed to win all their games in one month, with two wins in December.
It isn't easy to win every game one has to play in one month of La Liga, which according to the International Federation of Football History and Statistics is the best national championship in the world. It's even harder to do this three times in one year, which proves just how solid a year Real Madrid are having; the Whites top the table with a seven-point cushion over the runners-up.
