The domain is absolute. Insulting. boundless. Like doing the laundry on a Saturday morning, for Madrid to win the Champions League has become routine. Against Liverpool, once again, they won number 14. No one comes close to the whites in a completely subdued record. The next one that has won the most is Milan with seven wounds, half that of the kings of the competition.
After the Italian team, which did not lift the orejona from 2007, Liverpool and Bayern Munich appear with six, just ahead of Barça, which has five. In addition, there are already 17 finals played by the whites, also leaders in this statistics. But what is most striking is that they have only lost three, like Barça, but less than, for example, Liverpool (4) or Bayern Munich (5).
The final in Paris left many figures for history, for example that this Champions League represents the fourth national-continental double (League and Champions) in the history of the Whites, the second with the Champions format after the one achieved in 2017 after beating Juventus . The first, with the extinct European Cup, was in the 1956/1957 season and the second was just the following year, in the 1957/1958 season after beating Fiorentina. The third European Cup traveled to Madrid after the whites' victory (3-2) over Milan.
In the chapter of doubles, Madrid is not the best in history, but Barça, which has also won the League every time it has lifted the Champions League, which is why it has 5 wounds. The whites, with four, surpass Ajax and Bayern Munich with three, while Inter, Liverpool and Manchester United have two.
Another of the great protagonists who enters fully into the history of the competition is Carlo Ancelotti, who becomes the most successful coach in the competition, with four titles. Nobody beats the Italian, who won two with Milan in 2003 and 2007 and another two with the Whites, one in 2014 and the other on this occasion.
