The Kings of Europe: Real Madrid’s road to “Duodecima”!
The Road to Cardiff: a journey filled with thrilling moments, unforgettable matches and indescribable euphoria. Coming into the 2016/2017 season, Real Madrid was looking to make history once again by becoming the first team to win the Champions League trophy in back-to-back seasons. Considered by many to be an impossible feat, the Zidane-led team was determined to conquer European football once again and prove why they are widely regarded as the Kings of the Champions League!
Real’s road to glory was marked by their unmatched goal scoring prowess and intensity. The team started off their UCL campaign in dominant fashion by defeating teams from the caliber of Borussia Dortmund and Sporting Lisbon to go undefeated in the group stage. During the elimination phases of the tournament, Real Madid looked simply unstoppable - after beating Napoli, Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid in convincing fashion, Juventus was the last obstacle standing between Real and “Duodecima”.
The stage was set. In front of the sold out Millenium Stadium in Cardiff, Real Madrid took on a solid Juventus squad, with the winner earning bragging rights and the privilege to call themselves the “best team in the world”! Despite an evenly matched first half, Real Madrid left nothing to the imagination during the second 45 minutes as Zidane’s men scored 3 unanswered goals to secure their 12th Champions League triumph and 3rd in their last 4 seasons!
