A goal from Isco made Real Madrid the second team to score in 61 matches in a row in all competitions – a record shared with Bayern Munich.

Isco secured a place in the history books for Real Madrid as his first-half goal against Atletico Madrid saw Los Blancos score for a record 61st game in succession.

Trailing 2-0 after Saul Niguez and Antoine Griezmann had put Atletico in sight of a remarkable Champions League semi-final comeback, Isco bundled in on the rebound to give Zinedine Zidane's side a 4-2 aggregate advantage.

Scoring for the 61st game in successive games in all competitions matches the overall record for teams in Europe's top five leagues, held by Bayern Munich.
