Zinedine Zidane has matched another feat by Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid. With two first-half goals by Cristiano Ronaldo, Zidane's Madrid defeated Sporting Gijon 2-1 in the Spanish league on Saturday to equal the 31-game unbeaten run by Ancelotti's team in the 2013-14 season. Zidane already matched the former Madrid manager by winning the Champions League last season, a title that Ancelotti won with the Spanish powerhouse in 2014, when Zidane was an assistant coach.
