The victory over Barcelona not only stopped the opponent's seven-game winning streak, but also extended Real Madrid's unbeaten streak in La Liga to 49 games, tying Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten record in the Premier League.
Among the top five leagues, only AC Milan's 58-game unbeaten streak is longer than Real Madrid's.
Now with a strong team, it is entirely possible for the Galacticos to catch up with or even surpass AC Milan's longest unbeaten record in the top five leagues.
However, after the national derby with Barcelona, the league was temporarily suspended and all national team players had to return to the national team to play in the World Cup qualifiers.
On October 16, in the fifth round of the top ten Asian qualifiers for the World Cup, the Chinese team will challenge Oman away, Iraq will face Australia at home, and the Japanese team will have a bye.
After the first four rounds, Oman ranked fourth with only 2 points, which is a big gap from the previous points.
Therefore, in this game, Oman took the initiative to attack with the mentality of dying if they fail, hoping to destroy the Chinese team with the offense amid the cheers of the home fans.
However, the opposite happened.
If it weren't for Lu Wenbin, perhaps Oman could have defeated China at home.
But with Lu Wenbin, who is versatile in both offense and defense, it is simply a fantasy for Oman to defeat China.
After 90 minutes, the score on the big screen was 1-4.
Although Oman scored a goal through overall offense, the Chinese team scored four goals in counterattacks, three of which were scored by Lu Wenbin.
The Chinese team won 4-1 against Oman away from home. In another match, Australia also defeated Iraq 2-1 away from home.
After the fifth round of the top ten matches, the schedule is halfway through, and the Chinese team ranks first in Group B with 12 points, Japan is second with 7 points, Australia is third with 5 points, Oman is fourth with 2 points, and Iraq continues to be at the bottom with 1 point.
Australia, in third place, is 7 points behind China. With two direct qualifying spots in each group and only five rounds left and four games left for each team, China is almost sure to qualify.
Of course, theoretically speaking, both Australia and Japan still have the potential to beat the Chinese team and qualify directly.
Therefore, we will have to wait a little longer before we can really qualify.
After returning to China after the World Cup qualifiers, Real Madrid faced the 8th round of La Liga.
On October 20, in the 8th round of La Liga, Real Madrid faced Celta at home.
All the stars of Real Madrid had just returned from national team matches. They were in poor condition after long-distance travel and were exhausted from the journey. Two main players were injured in the national team matches and could not play.
In addition, Real Madrid will have to fly to Dortmund to play the third round of the Champions League group match in four days. Mourinho has also made a certain degree of rotation. Real Madrid's strength and form have declined seriously.
Fortunately, Lu Wenbin was not seriously injured and was in stable condition as always. He started the game and persisted until the end.
After the game, the score on the big screen at the scene was 3-2. The exhausted Real Madrid was almost overturned by Celta after scoring two goals.
Fortunately, there was Lu Wenbin. Lu Wenbin led Real Madrid to a narrow 3-2 victory with two shots and one assist, extending Real Madrid's unbeaten record in La Liga to 50 games, officially surpassing Arsenal and becoming the second unbeaten record in the top five European leagues.
This is also the seventh-longest unbeaten streak in all national top leagues across Europe.
Ahead of Real Madrid are Ajax, Porto, Benfica and others. The longest unbeaten record is the 104-game unbeaten streak set by Steaua Bucharest in the Romanian League.
However, this kind of minor league record is meaningless to Real Madrid, and it is impossible for Real Madrid to surpass the record of Steaua Bucharest.
This 104-game unbeaten record is far less famous than AC Milan's 58-game unbeaten record.
The unbeaten record in the five major leagues is recognized as a difficult unbeaten record.
As long as Real Madrid surpasses AC Milan, they can brag about it for decades!
Four days later, on October 24, at the Westfalen Stadium, the third round of the Champions League group stage in which Real Madrid challenged Bundesliga champions Dortmund away officially began.
In the first two rounds of the group stage, Dortmund won one and drew one, and ranked second with 4 points, showing good strength. In particular, the away game against Premier League champion Manchester City proved that Dortmund's Bundesliga championship last season was not a fluke.
Sure enough, with the cheers from the home fans, Dortmund launched a massive attack and scored a goal before Real Madrid.
In the 16th minute, Dortmund midfielder Reus made a cross from the flank, and striker Lewandowski withstood Pepe's charge in the penalty area and scored a goal.
Dortmund leads Real Madrid 1-0.
The Dortmund fans in the stands suddenly burst into warm cheers, especially the die-hard fans who had been standing in the south stand, who were the craziest.
However, Mourinho made rotations in the last league match against Celta in preparation for this Champions League match.
Five minutes after Dortmund scored, in the 21st minute, Real Madrid finally launched a successful quick counterattack.
This time, it was Götze who was dribbling on the wing but was intercepted by Marcelo, who then passed the ball to Xabi Alonso for a counterattack.
Alonso made a long pass of more than 40 meters in the backcourt and accurately found Benzema. Although Benzema was blocked by the opponent's central defender and failed to break into the penalty area, Lu Wenbin behind him quickly rushed up.
Benzema made a light cross pass, and Lu Wenbin made a powerful long shot from the top of the penalty area without stopping, and the ball went into Dortmund's goal.
Goalkeeper Weidenfeller made a save, but Lu Wenbin's shot was so powerful and fast that Weidenfeller was unable to touch the ball.
Real Madrid equalized the score through Lu Wenbin's goal.
Next, the two sides fought back and forth, and the fight was very intense.
The two champion teams of their respective leagues were in the death group and at the Westfalen Stadium, known as the craziest stadium in Europe, so they naturally fought very hard.
Especially Dortmund, which is behind in points, must fight to the death with Real Madrid.
However, Real Madrid's defense is world-class in itself, and Lu Wenbin can use his superior defensive ability to counter-attack or intercept in the frontcourt, which has prevented Dortmund from scoring the second goal.
On the contrary, Real Madrid scored the second goal before the end of the first half and reversed the score.
This time, Dortmund was passing the ball in the midfield, and was careless and disturbed by Lu Wenbin. Gundogan made a mistake in passing the ball, and it was intercepted by Khedira halfway.
After Khedira intercepted the ball, without waiting for the opponent to counterattack, he directly made a long pass to find Ronaldo, who took the ball and launched a quick counterattack.
With Benzema engaging an opposing central defender, Ronaldo only dribbled past one person, cut inside from the wing, and shot into the far corner from near the corner of the penalty area.
Real Madrid 2-1 Dortmund, reversed the score.
