Once Karim Benzema had equalised for Real Madrid against Napoli, it meant Los Blancos had equalled their all-time record of scoring in 41 consecutive matches.
It's the fourth time that the club has achieved the mark in its 115 years of existence.
The last game in which Real didn't find the net was against Manchester City in the Champions League semi-final on April 26, 2016.
On that occasion, the game finished goalless.
Real Sociedad were next up, on matchday 36 of the 2015/16 LaLiga season and since then, 110 goals have been rifled home in those 41 games.
Jose Mourinho was on the bench in the 2011/12 campaign, the last time the club reached the mark, and during that period the team scored a monumental 135 goals and eventually went on to win LaLiga.
In 87/88 and 88/89, when Leo Beenhakker was at the helm, Real scored 103 goals and secured a league and cup double.
The first time the record was achieved was in the 51/52 and 52/53 seasons.
Ipina presided over a team including top scorer Pahino, with 35 goals, Roque Olsen, who got 17, and Luis Molowny, with 11.
Barcelona hold the absolute record in Spain, scoring in 44 consecutive games between the 1942/43 and 1943/44.
