I think the biggest factor in that 17/18 UCL run is that Ronaldo scored 11 games straight including every single group stage fixture. unlike the previous two campaigns, there were several games where it felt like almost no one turned up to play but once ronaldo scored they came alive.

[@thecalmbeforethemaelstrom]

the most underrated player that season though was Marcelo. He was the reassuring voice for ronaldo and the front line who had a dreadful start to the season. Ronaldo was goalless in the league for like the first 2 months if I remember correctly. Marcelo kept creating and he added goals back to his game just like his early real madrid days. dude had almost all the big assists to either tie the score or give the lead. and his performance against bayern was special. really underrated for me.

[@cheangizzz]

The reason this Madrid team is not considered the best of all time is because there is no consistent visual style of play. People will say Pep's Barca was greater because they have that La Masia Tiki Taka identity. Klopp's Liverpool philosophy is gegenpressing. But Madrid does have a philosophy - winning. Winning no matter what, so fluidity. Being able to bend and stretch to greay length. They will counter attack you to death, but they will also possess. They can press you like crazy, but they can sit deep and absorb. They will give moments of individual brilliance but also be organized and put a team effort. When Madrid was a favorite in the final of Lisbon, Atletico scored an early goal and sat in a low block redusing to give freedom. But Madrid eventually battered them 4:1. But they were in a completely opposite situation against Liverpool in Paris final. They scored and withstood Liverpool's storm. This is fluidity of a winner.

The 14/15 season didn't start poorly. In fact, Madrid were league leaders for the first half of the season, they demolished Barcelona in that season's first El Clásico, and as was mentioned in the video, they even went on an unreal winning streak. Things started to fall apart after christmas. Although, reaching the UCL semis and finishing just 2 meager points behind Barcelona in the league maybe shouldn't be seen as a complete collapse. When Ancelotti got sacked after that season, every madridista stood up for him as we felt he'd been treated unfairly by Florentino Pérez. No one really wanted to see him leave, not even the players. And to top it all off, Pérez hired Benítez as Ancelotti's replacement. A manager who started his career at Madrid, but did not really share Real Madrid's true values such as playing attack-minded football. Dark times indeed...

I hope Real win UCL this season. Ancelotti deserves another one and probably this is his last season with Madrid

[@Dinoo1234]

Champions League and Real Madrid are a match made in heaven. At this point they should be a petition that Champions League be renamed after Real Madrid.

[@sergiojrguerra]

I was lucky enough to witness this team in my late teens, truly blessed

Hat-trick in CL is too much to even think about, yet that team did it.

great video as always, this man is the best KZbinr for our beautiful game

3 peat in the CL may never happen again

[@Dinoo1234]

It will never happen again. Winning 2 in a row is hard

[@sweetartoffighting279]

@@Dinoo1234 winning 1 is hard

[@lettuce1305]

probably won't happen again, we probably won't see any team winning 2 in a row for a very long time let alone 3 in a row. Mind you since the competition changed format and renamed to Champions League in 1993, no one has been able to even win 2 in a row until 2017.

[@thomasgrabkowski8283]

Well there’s no player like Ronaldo who constantly scores hat tricks in the most important UCL games playing for a top European club

[@lindogcwensa4624]

Finally a video acknowledging how great this team was.

[@john-olivierlukama1548]

I bit bummed out you didn't mention Zidane's in-game rotation. Seeing Asensio and Vasquez warming to play with Ronaldo up top, you just knew it was game over.

[@segundolizardo6667]

As a madridista for life , there’s nothing like the pressure of winning and playing for Real Madrid , Zidane is a winner and always would be , but the hatred that brings to be at Real Madrid is the only reason why a living person can said that Zidane’s win by luck , specially when you go against Messi Barcelona, every week.

[@AH-bf4md]

If Zidanes coaching career boils down to luck than I would like to have his luck 😅

[@wooldooriansokbatus5222]

This is the greatest football video on KZbin. 👏👏👏

[@DelikatesyLafuente]

Don’t forget that FCB has manipulated the Spanish league for decades. It is proved and court decision latest in 2025. That explains a lot, how a team is able to win more UCLs than leagues

[@chukwukakingsley9093]

Very insightful video. Definitely increased the knowledge of my Club. Keep up with the good work fella👍

[@jakevazquez5154]

I’m not a fan of Madrid but I still can’t believe their dominance lasted for 3 years and half

[@shaman_ns]

Growing up with Galácticos, I never imagined to see a comparable team. But these guys blew it out of the water. Having a former galáctico Zidane as the manager made it even more legendary

[@croopy99]

watching this madrid team as a madridista was like being high on acid for 3 years straight

[@spykp]

Zizu will forever be my all time fav football person. Not just player, or coach. His brilliance is what won me the first time I witnessed his greateness and it's what, to this day, makes me call him the GOAT of football. IDAF if Messi and Ronaldo hold the all time records, Zizu is different.

[@Dinoo1234]

I wanted Barca vs Real Madrid in the 14/15 Champions League final. It would have caused a riot between Messi and Ronaldo fanboys 😂

[@FOOTSHOTS1]

And here madrid is in the semi finals.. this team is crazy.. i just cant believe that they may win another ucl

[@wilfreded]

Zidane 🐐

[@electromagnumsplaylab]

This was worth every second, thank you for making such an elaborate and creative video on Madrid’s three-peat history!

[@theredhall-thisisfootball]

This Real Madrid team were not unstoppable in the Sense of unplayable or too good, they had a very strong team spirit, belief and defense combine that with Prime Ronaldo you have a perfect team. Barcelona while dominating Europe were truly unstoppable until Mourinho arrived, Pep's worst nightmare. Since 2015 To 19 Barcelona were the best team In Europe and you can see that by looking head to head matches with Madrid but they lacked what Real had and have always have, that never say never spirit and iron defense. Barca were always shockingly being knocked out of the UCL remember Barca almost won the La Liga and UCL unbeaten but fell at the last huddle, collapsing at Anfield and loosing to Levante in the last match of the season surely who does that.

[@angusyoung5398]

The best are the ones who win. Barcelona were humiliated by Roma, Juventus, Bayern, Liverpool, PSG, the best team in the world can't get pummeled 3-0, 4-0 and 8-2 in consecutive years. Barcelona never dominated Europe, they only dominated Madrid for a few seasons

[@john-olivierlukama1548]

During that time, Madrid and Barca were equal in El classico

[@lexkanyima2195]

I could've easily watched an hour of this. You paid attention to all the important details and everything was presented flawlessly. Awesome video!

[@abundantball]

we may be 8 points behind Barca at the moment and not in our best form, but at least we got an easy opponent in the UCL Round of 16. ;)

[@abundantball]

(Update, also im pretty sure you all know this but) We finished 10 points behind Barca in LaLiga and we got embarrassed in the Ucl Semi :o

[@lordsangone]

I will always remember Zidane not because of his legendary career, but because of his infamous headbutt in the World Cup. He didnt throw a punch or kicked the guy, he hit him with an amazing header to the chest. It was one of the most iconic moves of all time!

[@alewalei_219]

Idk how you can call Ronaldo the greatest champions league player and not say he's the GOAT. He tha goat in the best league, come on now.

[@Astro-M0]

Great video! I have a suggestion as well. You should make a video on their 21/22 UCL win as it was DEFINITELY one of the best winning runs ever! They had to clutch up EVERY SINGLE GAME in the LAST MINUTES against strong teams such as Chelsea, PSG, and Man City.

[@HemoFlier]

Hanging a success of a team on luck and refereeing for so many years is a good indication of a successful team and jealous competitors who don’t wanna agree on opponents success

[@genocidejoe]

Its the price you pay to be no 1

My first thought, should I really spend 20 min of my time on this! What a professional production, well done my friend👍
