Real Madrid faces off this Friday against Atletico in the Santiago Bernabeu for the Copa del Rey final (9:30 p.m., La 1) and seeks their second Cup title in three years. The squad led by coach Jose Mourinho has scored in the last 19 consecutive games and aims to continue the 41-goal Copa run they’ve had since January 2011.
Coincidently, the Whites kicked off this goalscoring streak against Friday’s opponent. Real outperformed Atletico by 3-1 in the 2010/2011 Copa quarter-finals in order to secure their pass to the semi-finals in a tournament that finally ended in a final against Barcelona in the Mestalla, which the Whites won 0-1 thanks to a header by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Since that match the Whites have scored in their last 19 consecutive Copa games over three seasons. In the 2010/2011 season Real managed eight goals in five matches, in 2011/12 the team netted 14 times in six games, and this year Real Madrid has scored 19 goals in eight clashes. A total of 41 goals which have given the Whites 14 wins in three Copa seasons.
