Real Madrid managed to qualify for a new European Cup final and there are 16 times that the white team has managed to sneak throughout its history in the last round of the maximum continental competition.

If back in the fifties, when the European Cup began, the Madrid of Gento, Di Stéfano, Puskas and company chained five finals consecutively, between 1956 and 1960, ending in all of them as champion, now in the 21st century the streak that links the white set is very similar. Since 2000, the year in which the white team won the eighth European Cup, Real Madrid has played five Champions League finals (2000, 2002, 2014, 2016 and 2017).

The first five, Real Madrid must add the 1962 and 1964, which fell with the Benfica and Inter respectively, and the 1966 which was his sixth European Cup against the Partizan of Belgrade. It took 15 years for Real Madrid to agree to another grand final, it was in 1981 against Liverpool, the last time the white team lost a final of the European Cup. 17 years later, in 1998, Real Madrid played the tenth final in which the longed for seventh European Cup came 32 years later as an appetizer to what would come in the 21st century.

We are definately talking about the best team in the competition. They don't need to play beatifully to win, but they just simply do. Such nice days to be their fan.

Hala Madrid!

This team has something that is very difficult to explain: a unique survival instinct. A know how to live on the constant wire. Knows how to suffer. Greetings!
