#3 Real Madrid’s UEFA Champions League hangover
The Galacticos are in the finals of the UEFA Champions League for the third time in a row, searching for their 13th European title. They beat German champions Bayern Munich in a closely fought semifinal and will play Liverpool in the final on the 26th of May.
No team in the history of the competition has won it twice in a row in the last 27 years, let alone accomplishing the feat thrice. Real Madrid could still make it happen and create history if they beat Liverpool in the final.
Other than the Spanish Super Cup, the UEFA Champions League is Real Madrid’s only chance of winning a silverware this season, and expectedly, Los Blancos gave it their all to beat Bayern.
Subsequently, Madrid's fatigue levels are bound to be tested on Sunday as Zidane's men will not have too long to recuperate after the gruelling Champions League semifinal. On the other hand, Ernesto Valverde will love to make amends for the disappointing Champions League exit and will have a relatively fresher side taking the field.
