We all know Real Madrid as the most successful history of world football, predominantly for their fascinating fairytale in the European Cup competitions. Los Blancos clinched the European Cup 5 times in a row when the competition started, and Alfredo Di Stefano was the crowned jewel who spearheaded that side.

Widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers ever to grace the pitch, the Argentinian took Spain by storm during his highly successful years with Real Madrid. He was known for his terrific dribbling and goalscoring skills that helped the club win a massive chunk of trophies in the 60s.

Di Stefano netted in all the five finals for Los Blancos in the European Cup, including a hattrick in the last one. His priceless contribution is the reason why Real Madrid richly deserve the crown they so willingly boast in their badge - the crown that also sort of signifies their claim as the greatest football club of all time.
