    As a Real Madrid fan, this era felt almost too good to be true. To win the Champions league once is a monumental task. To be the Champions of Europe for around 1000 days straight is something I don’t believe will ever be seen again.

    I think the biggest factor in that 17/18 UCL run is that Ronaldo scored 11 games straight including every single group stage fixture. unlike the previous two campaigns, there were several games where it felt like almost no one turned up to play but once ronaldo scored they came alive.

    • @thecalmbeforethemaelstrom
      @thecalmbeforethemaelstrom Před rokem +70

      the most underrated player that season though was Marcelo. He was the reassuring voice for ronaldo and the front line who had a dreadful start to the season. Ronaldo was goalless in the league for like the first 2 months if I remember correctly. Marcelo kept creating and he added goals back to his game just like his early real madrid days. dude had almost all the big assists to either tie the score or give the lead. and his performance against bayern was special. really underrated for me.

    The reason this Madrid team is not considered the best of all time is because there is no consistent visual style of play. People will say Pep's Barca was greater because they have that La Masia Tiki Taka identity. Klopp's Liverpool philosophy is gegenpressing. But Madrid does have a philosophy - winning. Winning no matter what, so fluidity. Being able to bend and stretch to greay length. They will counter attack you to death, but they will also possess. They can press you like crazy, but they can sit deep and absorb. They will give moments of individual brilliance but also be organized and put a team effort.
    When Madrid was a favorite in the final of Lisbon, Atletico scored an early goal and sat in a low block redusing to give freedom. But Madrid eventually battered them 4:1. But they were in a completely opposite situation against Liverpool in Paris final. They scored and withstood Liverpool's storm. This is fluidity of a winner.

    this team was loaded with great players at each position but what separated them from other teams was their mentality. from an attack like BBC to the midfield with kroos, luka and case, to the back 4 led by a captain like ramos. they played with that confidence that they would win every game and when it came to the champions league they were too locked in to lose. CR7 was dropping world class performance game in and game out in the CL but they also had depth off the bench with guys that they could easily insert and they would produce. it was unfair how good they were during this time. a 3 peat in the biggest club competition was no coincidence.

Sadly I can't see another team being this good this team will be legendary forever it will always be remembered as one of the greatest teams to ever play together if not as the greatest people in the future will become Real Madrid fans just from hearing about this team not even watching it I love our team right now but I think last season was the end of a great era for Real Madrid and now we start a new one where new players will take the reins and bring us greatness.

    Zidane created a midfield by moulding Modric, Kroos and Casimiero or James Rodriguez until 2017 or Isco into a midfield powerhouse creating a possession based counter attack form of play with dynamic triangles and some of the best pivots with a solid defence and killer attack.
    Not many people realise how Zidane with Kroos and Modric accelarated Real Madrid's counter attack. They developed a solid unshakable mentality under Mourinho. Zidane used that mentality to his advantage just like Carlo but created a dynamic team instead of a physically dominant team

    The 14/15 season didn't start poorly. In fact, Madrid were league leaders for the first half of the season, they demolished Barcelona in that season's first El Clásico, and as was mentioned in the video, they even went on an unreal winning streak. Things started to fall apart after christmas. Although, reaching the UCL semis and finishing just 2 meager points behind Barcelona in the league maybe shouldn't be seen as a complete collapse.
    When Ancelotti got sacked after that season, every madridista stood up for him as we felt he'd been treated unfairly by Florentino Pérez. No one really wanted to see him leave, not even the players. And to top it all off, Pérez hired Benítez as Ancelotti's replacement. A manager who started his career at Madrid, but did not really share Real Madrid's true values such as playing attack-minded football. Dark times indeed...

    Great video, i think that varane deserves more recognition tho. I remember when madrid was losing an important game ramos played as a striker for the last couple of minutes and carva and marcelo were almost 2 more wingers, specially marcelo. This meant that if case didnt stop all counter attacks early, which he would usually do succesfully, varane had to stop the attack almost entirely by himself. He was the perfect cb to do that as he would often outpace strikers like dortmund aubameyang or mbappe. To this day i still havent seen a defender as quick as him.
    Him, keylor and carvajal are definately our most underrated players of that generation
