100% progression record from Champions League group stages

Real Madrid secured their place in the last 16 of the Champions League after drawing against Shakhtar Donetsk on matchday four of the competition to continue their spectacular run in the group stage. The Whites have advanced from the group stage in every season since the new format was introduced in the 1995/96 campaign.

Real Madrid have now competed in the group stage in 31 campaigns and have progressed on each occasion, including the second group stages that were a feature of the competition between the 1999/00 season and the 2002/03 campaign. The madridistas are the only side to boast this clean sweep since the competition’s inception and are also the team to have qualified for the Champions League knockout stage on the most occasions.
