Real Madrid, despite having won the two previous editions of the UCL, did not enter the competition this time around as favorites. They lived up to the non-favorites tag, finishing second in a group consisting of Tottenham, Borussia Dortmund and APOEL.

They managed to overcome PSG pretty easily in the R16 before coming up against the side they had beaten in the final of the previous edition, Juventus.

Juventus had glorious chances in the first leg but spurned them, eventually ending up three goals and a man down. However, late in stoppage time, Cuadrado had a great chance to get a goal back but he was brought down by Carvajal in the box after taking a shot on. The referee though remained uninterested and awarded a goal kick. Madrid won the tie 3-0 and that proved to be a crucial decision as they lost the second leg 3-1 but managed to progress on aggregate.
