I'm not doubting he's a good manager, but I mean how difficult can it be to succeed when you can just casually throw in €101M Gareth Bale from the bench in the second half?
still pretty difficult. PSG can throw in Pastore, Draxler, De Maria (sure they arent bale but still super strong bench) and yet they flop. The mental strength it takes to win 3 CLs in a row is I think his strongest asset.

He isn't lucky, sure he has the squad and it helps he has so many big game players but he knows how to motivate and is tactically quite sound
He seems like he knows how to keep calm on the bench which is surprising given how erratic his actions on the field were
And thats a tough Madrid bench. Pellegrini, Mou and Rafa struggled with leaks and rebellions they werent known to be a cohesive team. They were just individuals. Only Ancelotti was comfortable with them.
And you still see some cracks with Isco and James in the past demanding to be played more and Bale's first words after a win complaining about lack of playing time when he should be insanely celebrating.
He knows how to get them to perform collectively when its game time. They leave their differences outside and play like a team. Even Asensio, Vazquez, Kovacic and previously Morata he could get so much out of them.
