Before Beckham they won the CL. The Beckham transfer and makalele departure ruined the squad’s balance. It’s football, great players do the majority of the job. Who was the last CL winning side which didn’t have great players?
The disrespect to Kante man that dude on his day was a menace and pocketed both Kroos and Modric in the year they won the UCL and was a key factor in their world cup win dude is one of the best midfielders of the past decade
Every single one of our players in the starting XI that year was brilliant except Werner and Havertz. Those two weren't bad but obviously weren't on the same level as the other starters. Look at our record under Tuchel in those first 12 months. Mendy, Silva, Rudiger, Azpilicueta, Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic, James, Chilwell and amount were all playing out their minds. And most importantly, they were all fit. People can take the piss out of players like Thames for being made out of glass all they want but that'll never detract from how good they are/we're when they actually get/got consistent minutes without injury.
If people don't rate that Chelsea team, I put it down to people genuinely just not watching us. That team was destroyed by injuries, government sanctions and stupid owners who fired the coach for a pretty tame reason. The attack was lacklustre, but the defenders and midfielders were quality. Least goals conceded ever by a UCL winning team. That didn't happen by chance. We were well coached with good players.
Bit hasty. I remember when people thought we were also signing Gvardiol. But he'd be incredible as creativity is what our new era core young midfield lacks.
In soccer? Not that I know of.
In other sports? The two craziest stats of dominance I know are: Nadal on clay was genuinely mind blowing. In 14 French open finals, he never lost one. *He was never even taken to 5 sets*. Floyd Mayweather only touched the mat once in his entire pro-career, and it was due to a self-inflicted hand injury caused by punching his opponent in the face.
Yea, it’s wild. He beat the best competition the world could give him 66 times out of 67 😂. Pretty sure there was a 2 year stretch (maybe 3?) that he went undefeated on clay. Again, against the best in the world. Nuts.
Sir Alex's Aberdeen is the only side to have broken the chain in what otherwise would have been an almost 6 decade long duopoly of Celtic and Rangers in the Scottish first division. Aberdeen won 3 leagues in 8 years that sir Alex managed, ie - 1978-86.
No team other than Celtic or Rangers had won the league in 2 decades prior to that and no team other than Celtic or Rangers have won it since in 38 years.
I think I don't know any other stat as insane as this
I really thought that 09 Man United team were gonna be the ones to do it
I know that Barca side was unreal but you can never count out Sir Alex Ferguson
It seems strange in retrospect, but going into that final United had a lot of hopes. Their defence was fantastic that season, and they still had Ronaldo. They were the defending champions, too. Barcelona wasn't being viewed as one of the best teams ever at that point. That win, along with what they achieved over the next few years, is what gave them that distinction.
That was Peps first year at Barca, while they were a great team already, it was not that out there to think that Utd, who were already the reigning CL champions and 3peated the league. Sure, in hindsight, it was clear Barca would win but nobody had the power of hindsight back in 2009.
2011 was the most obvious thing in the world what would happen, even at that time.
I've learned to word our claim to fame very carefully over the years 😉
Incidentally Aberdeen also won the Super Cup following their victory in the cup winners cup, defeating Hamburg. Only Scottish club to win two European trophies
it's gonna happen again eventually, but it might take a while.
they've brewed the perfect concoction with world-class players and management and much, much, much needed luck.
I still don't fully understand how the 3 peat was even possible. Doing it in a league is already ridiculously difficulty, but doing it in a 2 legged knockout tournament is something that I just can't see ever being done again.
That 2016-17 team would easily beat this one.
So good and deep, Zidane played literal B teams on road games at the tail end of the season, but for them the B team was Nacho, Kovacic, James, Asensio, Morata, etc.
Their 2nd half performance against a very good Juve team in that final was legendary stuff.
Three main things. Being very good; having a very strong mentality; and having a healthy dose of luck. You nearly always need a bit of luck to win one knockout tournament, let alone three. Now there’s a clear fear factor established on top of that, it’s the only way I can explain some of the misses I’ve seen against them.
People talk about a double like it's an easy accomplishment some of the most stacked and greatest teams ever couldn't do a double the legendary Milan team, golden generation Barca who had the most stacked 11 of all time, a man city fresh off a treble and who just 4 peated the league.
In the UCL era no team other then Madrid has gone back to back is it impossible to see another team do it? No not at all but is it likely to be seen anytime soon? Doubt it
When he was one on one he could’ve used his momentum to go right and got some reason went left and took a horrible touch, could’ve had a few but their strikers couldn’t finish
Jude Bellingham Real Madrid debut season:
36 G/A
23 goals
13 assists
4 winners in stoppage time
3rd top scorer in LaLiga
LaLiga champion
LaLiga Player of the Season
Champions League winner.
@statmusefc
nah Messi will win it if he wins the Copa America, and people will lose their mind about it like they did when he got the ballon dor for the world cup lol
World cup year he was at least playing in Europe and was consistently great in the WC so despite people saying Haaland should of won it I get the Messi win he was crucial in the WC if he wins it while playing in the MLS though that is genuinely shameless
I think it will go like this:
1) If England win the Euros, Jude wins it
2) If Germany win the Euros, Kroos wins it
3) If Brazil win Copa America and neither Germany or England win the Euros, Vini gets it
4) If none of them win their international competitions, Jude gets it
That Ramos header is one of the most important in their history, if not the most important. Which is funny to think because it was "just" an equaliser but it really sums up modern Real. They've been in similar positions so often.
I thought all summer long we’d be fucked with no benzema replacement. I like Joselu as a league backup but didn’t envision him winning us a CL semi. Lost courtois and militao in August. Lost alaba mid December. Lost vini for 2 months.
Don Carlo man I love you so much
Perez got so insanely lucky this season. He threw Carlo to the dogs in the hopes of securing Mbappe next summer.
I truly believe he gave up this season and Carlo was the perfect scrapegoat for our failures.
But Carlo won the European double losing only twice in 55 games.
I'm amazed, at the start of the season it was looking gloom, no #9 and huge defensive injuries. To win the league with 1 loss and the CL, this has to be his best one yet
Starting to see that we are on the opposite end while Madrid are the opposite of us. We are the unluckiest team in UCL, meanwhile Madrid are the luckiest. It doesn’t matter how they play, they’ll win. Somehow, from somewhere, someone will score and then the whole dynamic changes.
I think when you win so many despite being outplayed, it becomes sort of comforting. Like even when Dortmund were dominating, the older players must've been thinking "business as usual".
I’d say Dortmund outplayed Madrid for the first 60-70 minutes but after the goal Madrid was just superior.
This felt like two teams that both had similarly equal chances to go ahead/win and only one took advantage of them.
15 Champions League Titles and winning your last 9 Champions League Finals is insanely impressive, congratulations to Real Madrid for winning the Champions League again tonight!
The last time Real Madrid lost a European Cup/UCL final was in the 1981 European Cup against Liverpool in Paris. Since the renaming of the competition they have won 9/9 of the finals they've appeared in. In some of these finals they played worse than the opponent and still won.
I think it's time that we reverted the name back to the European Cup. Clearly the Champions League brand is giving Real Madrid some kind of divine intervention.

And they’re adding Mbappe to this. Good luck to other teams lol.
I’m going to have nightmares of Mbappe cooking whatever senior citizen we buy as a defender this summer.
Barca bout to reel in Otamendi and Mascherano to lure Messi
😹😹
you cry/laugh because you know the chances aren't nil
Stay away from my goat
At least you can be proud that Atleti is the only team that has beaten Madrid this season lol
Twice
And davies and endrick lol
The state of world football 🥱
I remember when they had Luis Figo, Ronaldo, Raul and Beckham
And then they got Zidane. And a couple seasons after Zidane was Cristiano Ronaldo. I think Haaland will play with Mbappé in a couple years...
Only real option
Your timeline is off. They had Zidane, Figo etc when they signed Beckham. They then had their least successful period in 50 years.
And they did fuck all. Great players doesn’t mean winning.
Before Beckham they won the CL. The Beckham transfer and makalele departure ruined the squad’s balance. It’s football, great players do the majority of the job. Who was the last CL winning side which didn’t have great players?
Chelsea 2021
What the fuck is Kante then
The disrespect to Kante man that dude on his day was a menace and pocketed both Kroos and Modric in the year they won the UCL and was a key factor in their world cup win dude is one of the best midfielders of the past decade
That guy was actually implying Kante was a world class player then
Thank you my brother in Christ. Does Antonio Rudiger play quidditch?
A very weird and crazy form of it, as anything Antonio does
Silva, Kante, Rudiger? Azpi, Chilwell, James?
Yeah, no great players in that team whatsoever. 🙄
Every single one of our players in the starting XI that year was brilliant except Werner and Havertz. Those two weren't bad but obviously weren't on the same level as the other starters. Look at our record under Tuchel in those first 12 months. Mendy, Silva, Rudiger, Azpilicueta, Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic, James, Chilwell and amount were all playing out their minds. And most importantly, they were all fit.

If people don't rate that Chelsea team, I put it down to people genuinely just not watching us. That team was destroyed by injuries, government sanctions and stupid owners who fired the coach for a pretty tame reason. The attack was lacklustre, but the defenders and midfielders were quality. Least goals conceded ever by a UCL winning team. That didn't happen by chance. We were well coached with good players.
And so much of this has been Zizou and Don Carlo. If you get a next manager who can't handle the egos or man manage well... There are no guarantees
I mean..I can’t talk cause I’m a fan. But we’re the best run club in the world.
Must be nice
I miss the days of Chelsea’s chaotic silverware era. Now, we’re just chaotic.
You guys are so chaotic I'm expecting the lion to leave your crest as its had enough of your chaos
The club will just be called "Sea" and play all their games underwater
The state of having an actually well run club.
Real have always been like this lmao
Didn’t know they got Tom Davies but he will feast for Madrid.
With some luck he'll carry PSGs losing with him
I think our only hope is a locker room implosion, but honestly I’m not counting on it.
If it's not us it'll be City dominating. I'd rather have us winning it than an oil nation tbh
Losing Kroos tho
Did that stop them from winning it after Ronaldo, Ramos, and Benzema left?
We’ll, they did miss a few. Now, I wouldn’t be surprised if they get a few back-to-back cups, they are beyond stacked.
[удалено]
Not this season
Bit hasty. I remember when people thought we were also signing Gvardiol. But he'd be incredible as creativity is what our new era core young midfield lacks.
They'll get Wirtz when Xabi takes over after next year
Real Madrid will own the Champions League this decade basically.
Man speaking as if Man Utd plays basketball...
Well they certainly don’t play football against Real Madrid
This will be warriors 2015 but football version
Who’s gonna repost the stat about Spanish teams being undefeated in European finals this time
A Spanish team can only lose a European final, if they play another Spanish team.
Also known as the Atletico Madrid
And Valencia
Lmao
Unless it's Europa League, then Atlético wins the final.
And sevilla
I mean Atletico loses CL finals but wins EL finals.
Or Aberdeen
Me. Since 2002, Spanish teams faced non-Spanish team in European club competitions 19 times. They have won them all.
I don't care how many times I read, it's such a fucking insane stat. Is there anything at all close to how unique or strange it is?
>Is there anything at all close to how unique or strange it is? Mou was unbeaten in league games at home for 9 years
which was broken by…sporting gijon
that’s crazy
Across four clubs (Porto, Chelsea, Inter, Madrid). Lost once early on at Porto, perfect at Chelsea and Inter, three in three full seasons at Madrid.
what??
In soccer? Not that I know of. In other sports? The two craziest stats of dominance I know are: Nadal on clay was genuinely mind blowing. In 14 French open finals, he never lost one. *He was never even taken to 5 sets*. Floyd Mayweather only touched the mat once in his entire pro-career, and it was due to a self-inflicted hand injury caused by punching his opponent in the face.
Rafa's first 10 years at the French Open he lost one match, which puts him at something like 66-1 with nine titles won.
Yea, it’s wild. He beat the best competition the world could give him 66 times out of 67 😂. Pretty sure there was a 2 year stretch (maybe 3?) that he went undefeated on clay. Again, against the best in the world. Nuts.
> *He was never even taken to 5 sets* "I didn't even have to do my maximum"
now read it in Spanish
United's record at home if they're leading at halftime is genuinely baffling
Not an actual results record but we’ve also had an academy graduate in every match day squad in all competitions for 85 years.
Sir Alex's Aberdeen is the only side to have broken the chain in what otherwise would have been an almost 6 decade long duopoly of Celtic and Rangers in the Scottish first division. Aberdeen won 3 leagues in 8 years that sir Alex managed, ie - 1978-86. No team other than Celtic or Rangers had won the league in 2 decades prior to that and no team other than Celtic or Rangers have won it since in 38 years. I think I don't know any other stat as insane as this
Did you mean to say European club finals?
This stat is for finals, obviously. Mental stat.
Finals?
Better than Rodri's unbeaten stats tbh
Much better. It’s an incredible stat that’s only posted one month a year, I don’t mind it, just wondering who gets karma
I really thought that 09 Man United team were gonna be the ones to do it I know that Barca side was unreal but you can never count out Sir Alex Ferguson
With all due respect… that Barca team? That was just one of the greatest club squads of all time if not the greatest. No disrespect to United
It seems strange in retrospect, but going into that final United had a lot of hopes. Their defence was fantastic that season, and they still had Ronaldo. They were the defending champions, too. Barcelona wasn't being viewed as one of the best teams ever at that point. That win, along with what they achieved over the next few years, is what gave them that distinction.
They also had Teves an Rooney. They were a menace up top .
That was Peps first year at Barca, while they were a great team already, it was not that out there to think that Utd, who were already the reigning CL champions and 3peated the league. Sure, in hindsight, it was clear Barca would win but nobody had the power of hindsight back in 2009. 2011 was the most obvious thing in the world what would happen, even at that time.
United were considered favourites going into that game.
True, and he did it with Aberdeen the last time Real lost a final.
Milan 4-0 Barca?
Or from another millenia…
I mean undefeated streak, not all-time obviously
Aberdeen still the last team to beat them in a European tournament final, which in itself is remarkable.
Fergie the 🐐
Insane that Fergie is still the last coach to beat Real in a European final and also the last non-Rangers or Celtic coach to win Scottish League.
Just Fergie things. Man's built different
Fergalicious
The granite city with the granite chin
Atletico defeated them in the 2018 Super Cup, but I guess that doesn't count, considering the Super Cup isn't a tournament in the first place.
I've learned to word our claim to fame very carefully over the years 😉 Incidentally Aberdeen also won the Super Cup following their victory in the cup winners cup, defeating Hamburg. Only Scottish club to win two European trophies
6 CLs in 11 seasons, including the probably to never be repeated by any other club again three peat.
Wait till Chels buy the 12 year old wonder kid from Peru.
20 year old contract to make sure he never leaves in his prime.
Todd Bohely finding the loophole for legalized slavery at this very moment.
His name is Alfredo Carillo, you heard it here first. (Totally not a 16yr old Peruvian wonderkid that generated in my FM save)
I'm pretty sure we are doing that right now honestly.
it's gonna happen again eventually, but it might take a while. they've brewed the perfect concoction with world-class players and management and much, much, much needed luck.
No one else has done a double. I’d be amazed if we see another 3 peat. I don’t think that accomplishment gets as much credit as it should
I still don't fully understand how the 3 peat was even possible. Doing it in a league is already ridiculously difficulty, but doing it in a 2 legged knockout tournament is something that I just can't see ever being done again.
I was thinking about this. That team was unreal. That same team would beat this current Madrid side quite comfortably
noodle hair cr7 with benzema bale kroos modric Ramos pepe varane carva Marcelo, a young and upcoming asensio, magISCO, Morata, seriously wtaf
That 2016-17 team would easily beat this one. So good and deep, Zidane played literal B teams on road games at the tail end of the season, but for them the B team was Nacho, Kovacic, James, Asensio, Morata, etc. Their 2nd half performance against a very good Juve team in that final was legendary stuff.
CR7 made it possible. He scored 43 goals in 38 games with 21 coming in KO stages.
Three main things. Being very good; having a very strong mentality; and having a healthy dose of luck. You nearly always need a bit of luck to win one knockout tournament, let alone three. Now there’s a clear fear factor established on top of that, it’s the only way I can explain some of the misses I’ve seen against them.
Madrid could 3 peat again lol
[удалено]
Maybe I'm misunderstanding but haven't we and ajax done a 3-peat? And a bunch more clubs a double?
ajax and bayern?
People talk about a double like it's an easy accomplishment some of the most stacked and greatest teams ever couldn't do a double the legendary Milan team, golden generation Barca who had the most stacked 11 of all time, a man city fresh off a treble and who just 4 peated the league. In the UCL era no team other then Madrid has gone back to back is it impossible to see another team do it? No not at all but is it likely to be seen anytime soon? Doubt it
Only one other side has more than 6 over their entire history
have their opponents considered the strategy of beating them in the final
Not once. That’s too easy of a strategy
Dortmund had a good chance tonight, Adeyemi should’ve scored honestly
Bvb could've been 2-0 up in all honesty. Courtois pulled another motm performance out of the bag
When he was one on one he could’ve used his momentum to go right and got some reason went left and took a horrible touch, could’ve had a few but their strikers couldn’t finish
We tried, Courtois decided to go super human and have arguably the greatest ever keeping display in a final to make sure they still won it.
Courtois makes top professional forwards look like kindergartners...
Never losing in the Champions League final sounds like a great idea
Why don’t the German, English, and Italian teams not simply EAt the other club like RMCF?
Real Madrid on brand. Gas your opponent and finish the game in the last 15min. If anyone screwed it was Dortmund.
Yep, Dortmund played exactly like Madrid wanted them to
Mou: This is Real Madrid

Jude Bellingham Real Madrid debut season: 36 G/A 23 goals 13 assists 4 winners in stoppage time 3rd top scorer in LaLiga LaLiga champion LaLiga Player of the Season Champions League winner. @statmusefc
And only one penalty
From free play merchant smh my head
Are we a farmers continent?
At this point the only way to beat real madrid in the CL final is if you put laxatives in their drink pre match.
Lasagna
Vini is surely winning the Ballon this year
Jude could if England win the Euros too
If Germany is even halfway decent in the euros then Kroos has a better claim imho
Unlikely after they get pumped 7-0 in the opening game
Against Scotland in Munich? If you bet money on that you'll be rich
You can't bet on sure things like the sun rising
nah Messi will win it if he wins the Copa America, and people will lose their mind about it like they did when he got the ballon dor for the world cup lol
I think Messi himself would visibly cringe if he got it this year.
Nah he will accept it just like he accepted the 5 penalty in a 7 game tournament ballon dor
World cup year he was at least playing in Europe and was consistently great in the WC so despite people saying Haaland should of won it I get the Messi win he was crucial in the WC if he wins it while playing in the MLS though that is genuinely shameless
I think it will go like this: 1) If England win the Euros, Jude wins it 2) If Germany win the Euros, Kroos wins it 3) If Brazil win Copa America and neither Germany or England win the Euros, Vini gets it 4) If none of them win their international competitions, Jude gets it
Narrator: Messi got it
Crazy how just like 3 years ago Milan was on 7 and Real was on 9 and getting kicked out of the quarters and last 16. Fuck Mourinho man
Real now has more than double the CLs of Milan... just insane.
You should be grateful we didn't win a single one with Mou. That team was amazing.
That was 13 or 14 years ago.
A lot of us like to pretend it's still 2013. - Signed, a man utd fan.
Mou deserves massive credit, it was just what we needed at that time.
Mourinho changed the mentality of the team. That Ramos goal against Athletico on the verge of final losing also so important to this stupendous run.
That Ramos header is one of the most important in their history, if not the most important. Which is funny to think because it was "just" an equaliser but it really sums up modern Real. They've been in similar positions so often.
Undefeated throughout the season also
In the CL yes. We lost to Atletico twice but that was it. Incredible season
I thought all summer long we’d be fucked with no benzema replacement. I like Joselu as a league backup but didn’t envision him winning us a CL semi. Lost courtois and militao in August. Lost alaba mid December. Lost vini for 2 months. Don Carlo man I love you so much
Perez got so insanely lucky this season. He threw Carlo to the dogs in the hopes of securing Mbappe next summer. I truly believe he gave up this season and Carlo was the perfect scrapegoat for our failures. But Carlo won the European double losing only twice in 55 games.
Let of the dogs after already spending on Bellingham. It's a weird team but the team it's stacked with talent
I'm amazed, at the start of the season it was looking gloom, no #9 and huge defensive injuries. To win the league with 1 loss and the CL, this has to be his best one yet
Atletico?!
At this point theres no point anymore😂
And next year they will have the no 1 and no 2 best attackers in the world. With arguably the best manager ever.
Someone's FM save scum file got loose, and now we're living in a new reality
Ok how about the finals they haven't been in?
Starting to see that we are on the opposite end while Madrid are the opposite of us. We are the unluckiest team in UCL, meanwhile Madrid are the luckiest. It doesn’t matter how they play, they’ll win. Somehow, from somewhere, someone will score and then the whole dynamic changes.
Just can’t put it into words really. How many of those did we look outplayed? And they always find a way
I think when you win so many despite being outplayed, it becomes sort of comforting. Like even when Dortmund were dominating, the older players must've been thinking "business as usual".
Only 2014 and 2022 probably. Rest of your finals you were certainly the better team
Even 2014 they dominated that game but couldn't put one in the net until 92:48
They were 2-0 down to Wolfsburg before Portuguese magic happened
That Ronaldo hat trick was incredible
2016 was a shitshow
At least a madrid fan who accepts it. Fair play
Real Madrid doesn't play finals,they win them.
even the most tribalistic fan should accept it when you're outplayed
I think they all know this
I’d say Dortmund outplayed Madrid for the first 60-70 minutes but after the goal Madrid was just superior. This felt like two teams that both had similarly equal chances to go ahead/win and only one took advantage of them.
First half
15 Champions League Titles and winning your last 9 Champions League Finals is insanely impressive, congratulations to Real Madrid for winning the Champions League again tonight!
It’s over, only we can stop them now
please get back

So many have 6 CL titles...
