#4 Real Madrid winning a hat-trick of Champions League titles
Real Madrid completed their third straight UEFA Champions League triumph with a 3-1 win against Liverpool in Kyiv to take the trophy for the third year running.
What a team Real Madrid was under Zinedine Zidane, indeed. His man-management skills were incredible. However, he felt the need to leave after three cheerful years with the Bernabeu outfit.
Though they only managed to win one domestic cup in Zidane's three years, in the bigger picture, they have outperformed every club, especially Barcelona. The Catalans won 5 domestic titles in three years out of the six available to them, but Real Madrid fans were least interested as they were titled the "European Champions" for three consecutive years.
They were winning the UCL like it was just a normal thing to do, and the Zidane era was unbelievable. And since Zidane's departure, the amount of struggles Real Madrid are traversing through to remain as a top club in Europe is startling.
