Until a 2-2 draw against Villarreal, Real Madrid hadn't dropped any points this season, and after a stretch of four straight draws, Zinedine Zidane's squad are back to their best, with recent goalscoring feats acting as proof.
It was a month of poor form, and injuries didn't help matters, but Los Blancos look to put that in the past by doing what they do best- scoring and spreading out the number of goals.
Since demolishing Betis at the Estadio Benito Villamarin, Real have scored 20 goals in total, showing that their drop in form was clearly temporary.
Midweek matches, against Legia Warsaw in the Champions League and Cultural Leonesa in the Copa del Rey, also ended in overwhelming Real wins.
With 20 goals and four straight wins, Zidane's attack is back to terrorising opposing defences, especially Alvaro Morata and Marco Asensio who continue in fine form and are knocking on the door for more playing time.
Never before has Real Madrid relied so little on BBC, yet scored as many goals as they have in recent weeks.Real Madrid's 7-1 rout of Cultural Leonesa, Marco Asensio reminded reporters that Los Blancos do not take any team for granted.
The talented midfielder continued his unique streak of scoring in every tournament debut for Real by slotting home in the 32nd minute, before adding a long-range strike in the second-half.
The brace also means that the 20-year-old is now the team's joint-top scorer in all competitions this season alongside fellow Spaniard Alvaro Morata.
"We have to be at our best in every minute of the game," Asensio said to reporters.
"We knew that it wasn't going to be an easy game and that we had to play with a serious attitude."
"Our target was to win, so we're happy with the victory and I hope we continue like this."
The Real Mallorca youth product however dismissed suggestions that Real Madrid will take the second leg against the Segunda Division B side lightly.
"The tie is virtually settled but that we cannot relax," he said.
