I used to dislike Real Madrid quite much and didn’t want them to win in 2014 against Atletico, them not getting La Decima would be nice.
But after 2017 and 18 I just came to the conclusion that the CL is meant for them and there’s no reason to hate them for being good in this tournament. Instead I came to admire their resilience and ability to get the needed result even when being outplayed.
Many clubs outplayed them during the last decade, but they still found a way time and time again. And this is in the CL, the biggest and most prestigious cup of them all.
It says a lot about their character and mental strength. If they win it for a 15th time it would be insane, but we seen it so many times now that we shouldn’t be surprised.
What I also like about them is their ability to build good teams, especially after they went away with the Galactico rubbish. After they focused more on building a balanced team they started to win and become a much more consistent club, thats no coincidence.
Then on top of that you have players like Modric, Kroos and Benzema still playing at a wc level in their mid/late 30’s.
