The record breaking unbeaten run hasn't come without its fair share of suffering, with Zinedine Zidane lamenting the amount of chances Real Madrid are giving opponents to get back into matches they should have already finished off.
Sergio Ramos late headers make for quite the spectacle, but the French boss is demanding more out of his squad in closing out matches.
Living on the edge is a risk when it comes to not dropping points, and something without a doubt worth correcting.
A bit of good fortune and the supporters always on his side has bought Zizou time, but better in-match substitutions and changes are needed to ensure the team keeps its advantages.
The lack of intensity is something Zidane has mentioned continuously to the players, and will look to use the single-elimination nature of Thursday's Club World Cup semi-final against Club America as a chance to rectify this.
In such a short tournament, there is little room for error, so Los Blancos will have to be at their best if they are to emerge victorious in a tournament that they are considered heavy favourites to win.
