Their journey this season illustrates this dimension: Carlo Ancelotti’s men are only one match away from Wembley… although they have only won one of their five meetings during the final phase (against Leipzig in the eighth final first leg, 1-0).
Two clubs with a “great history”
In the running for a treble – winner of the Spanish Super Cup in January and crowned in the league on Saturday – are Real, with their fourteen crowns in the most prestigious of European competitions, really impregnable at home? “I’m confident, because it’s Real Madrid, we have this team, I trust the fans who will help us”repeated the Italian coach of the Merengues in a pre-match press conference.
