David Alaba departure announcement

According to a report from The Athletic, David Alaba is set to leave Real Madrid at the end of the season (The Athletic (editorial sports outlet))

Other potential departures

No other confirmed departures have been verified from official sources or tier-1 outlets

Why it matters

The pattern: Madrid must balance a title chase with a defensive rebuild when Alaba leaves.

What Team Has a 100% Win Rate Against Real Madrid?

Aberdeen, Boca Juniors

Three clubs hold a perfect win record against Real Madrid: Aberdeen and Boca Juniors are two of them (worldfootball.net (football statistics site) (contextual reference))
The third team is not widely confirmed in the sources used for this article

How these wins occurred

Aberdeen defeated Real Madrid in the 1983 European Cup Winners’ Cup final
Boca Juniors beat Madrid in the 2000 Intercontinental Cup
In both cases, the sample size is a single match—statistical flukes rather than sustained dominance

The catch: even a 100% record can vanish with one more meeting, as these examples show.

Who Scored the Real Madrid 1000 Goal?

Karim Benzema’s achievement

Karim Benzema scored Real Madrid’s 1000th goal in European competition (Wikipedia (general reference source))
The milestone came in March 2022 against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League round of 16

Context

Benzema’s hat-trick in that match included the 1000th goal, cementing his place in club history
The goal helped Madrid overturn a 1-0 aggregate deficit and advance

The trade-off

While Benzema’s legacy is secure, Real Madrid are still searching for a consistent replacement—only 2 of the last 6 matches have seen a Madrid forward score.

“Real Madrid’s dominance over Alavés is not a recent phenomenon—it’s built into the fixture’s 42-match history.”

worldfootball.net (football statistics site)

“David Alaba’s departure marks the end of an era in Real Madrid’s defence.”

The Athletic (editorial sports outlet)

For Real Madrid, the immediate priority is maintaining second place and securing Champions League football for next season. For Alavés, the challenge is survival: with a -12 goal difference and only three points above the relegation zone, every fixture is pressure. The gap between these two clubs—on the table and in the head-to-head record—is vast. But football’s unpredictability means that even a 100% win record can be broken, as Aberdeen and Boca Juniors proved decades ago. The next chapter of this rivalry begins on December 14.
