According to a report by Madrid Universal on Thursday November 5, 2026, with a thrilling 3-2 win over AEK Athens, Real Madrid kept up their remarkable winning streak and won their seventh game in a row under Jose Mourinho's leadership.

The Greek team kept up the pressure on Los Blancos throughout the match, even taking the lead twice, but Madrid's captain scored a spectacular goal in the 94th minute to seal the deal.

With Wednesday's game-winning goal by Federico Valverde, Real Madrid not only secured three crucial points, but also achieved an unprecedented landmark in Champions League and European Cup history.

Madrid has now scored 49 goals in European competitions in the 90th minute or later, more than any other club (not including goals scored in extra time), according to LaLigaenDirecto.

A stunning long-range effort by Valverde in the 92nd minute against AEK Athens completed Madrid's comeback and secured victory, adding the latest player to the roster.

The Spanish giants were twice equalized by Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe, keeping Mourinho's squad in the game despite the tough European encounter.

With four wins from their first four matches in the Champions League this season, Mourinho's Madrid team maintained their perfect record with this result.

Real Madrid's European history is defined by late goals; the Spanish giants have staged numerous legendary comebacks thanks to their tenacity and ability to play until the very end.

They showed that tenacity earlier in the season when they scored three goals in the last 10 minutes to beat Roma, 3-2, after falling behind 3-1.

As an iconic example, consider Sergio Ramos's equalizer in the tenth European championship game of 2014, which helped Real Madrid defeat Atletico Madrid in the final.

In the 2022 semi-finals, when Madrid's European aspirations seemed in jeopardy, Rodrygo's incredible late double against Manchester City proved that they could produce decisive moments like never before.

Their most recent album exemplifies a mindset that has persisted through many generations of managers and players, confirming that Madrid should never be written off before the final whistle.

Their incredible 15 Champions League trophies are in large part due to their resiliency, refusal to give up, and will to keep fighting.

The same attributes have been on display by Mourinho's team as they seek a sixteenth European championship; time and again, they have found a way to win games despite appearing to be in a hopeless position.

The team will be looking to keep their winning streak going into this weekend's crucial match against Valencia, buoyed by the confidence gained from their victory over AEK Athens.

In order to extend their remarkable winning streak into the next period, Madrid will be hoping to collect three more points before the international break starts.
