Liverpool vs Real Madrid: 5 things you must know

#2 Real Madrid are on the verge of making history

The team is destined for greater things

If there's any team that has excelled in European competitions in the last five years, it's Real Madrid. The Spanish giants have won two consecutive Champions League finals, a record that is currently shared by ten teams in history.

This incredible feat was last achieved by Ariggo Sacchi, when he guided AC Milan to two consecutive victories in 1989 and 1990 respectively.

However, with Madrid entering the final again, there's a possibility that they could break all records - by becoming the first European side to ever win the Champions League in three consecutive seasons.

Real Madrid have struggled to find their footing in La Liga this season, but displayed tremendous dedication in European competitions. The team will be playing their fourth final in five years, which only reiterates their position as an elite side - one which can go down in history as one of the most dominant in football history under Zinedine Zidane.
