Real Madrid reached a historic mark on Thursday, and the club did it without likes of Cristiano Ronaldo. Real stretched its unbeaten run to 40 games, beating Barcelona's record by drawing 3-3 at Sevilla in the Copa del Rey round of 16. Real advanced 6-3 overall after the two legs and establishes the brilliant, unbelievable mark in the process.

Down 3-1 late, it was Sergio Ramos' penalty kick goal and this piece of skill from Karim Benzema that saw the team avoid defeat.

That streak includes 30 victories and has stretched back to last season.

So, so impressive.

Real defender Marcelo said after the match on the beIN Sports in Spanish broadacast that the streak is the last thing the team is worried about. But you have to believe it is on their minds with it being talked about so much. So what's next?

According to social media statiscian MisterChip, there is another streak to go after. It's Juventus' 43-match unbeaten streak from 2011-12.

Here are Real Madrid's next five games:

  • at Sevilla on Jan. 15
  • vs. Malaga on Jan. 21
  • vs. Real Sociedad on Jan. 29
  • at Celta Vigo on Feb. 5
