Carlo Ancelotti is looking to win his third Champions League title with Real Madrid, with the La Liga giants having dominated the competition over the past decade
Real Madrid have won the trophy 14 times and have not lost a European final since 1983 when Sir Alex Ferguson ’s Aberdeen beat them in the Cup Winners’ Cup. It is little wonder that history and success leaves many opponents beaten even before the game kicks off. It is why there will also a feeling of inevitability at Wembley on Saturday night.
That experience and know-how is the reason why, even when Real Madrid face difficult moments, they have an inner strength from the club’s DNA to make them believe they can turn any situation around. Ancelotti said: “I think there is something special in this club, It can be the history, the character, the quality of the players. It has happened so many times it cannot be a coincidence.
"With another important component which is sacrifice for the team, the collective attitude of my team – it has been able to prove that. Sacrifice plus quality is going to be the key for tomorrow's game.”
