These have been the 10 moments of glory more special for him Real Madrid in the last 10 years:
Absolute record in Spain. Zidane kept Real Madrid for 40 games without knowing defeat. It was from March 2016, when they fell against Atlético de Madrid (0-1) until February 2017, when they did so in Seville (2-1). They beat by just 1 game the record that Luis Enrique’s Barcelona had from the previous year. A feat to remember.
This moment is from very recently. With their victory in October at the Camp Nou (1-2), Real Madrid achieved their fourth straight victory in a Clásico against Barcelona. All of them league. In total there are 5 games without losing, which speaks clearly of who is right now the great dominator of the most important game in world football.
The Portuguese spent 9 years at Real Madrid and they earned him to become the best player in his history. Top scorer of the club (450 goals), top scorer in the league, top scorer in the Champions League, record for Golden Balls and Boots, 3 Pichichis and a whopping 16 titles.
Half of the Ballons d’Or of the last decade have been taken by Real Madrid players. Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo has been the great architect of this feat. The Portuguese won all between 2014 and 2017 except one. Then Modric would take control of 2018. A golden saga for the best generation of footballers in the history of the club.
Real Madrid has not won the Copa del Rey for more than 7 years. Of course, the last time was memorable. They beat Barcelona at the Mestalla with goals from Di María and Bale (2-1). The last of the Welshman in an epic sprint to engrave his name in the club’s history in gold letters.
Bayern Munich was the current European champion and the favorite to win the title. Guardiola was in his first season at the Allianz and that’s where the whites made one of the greatest works of art in history. They were 1-0 in the first leg but in half an hour they had sentenced the tie. 0-3 which in the end was 0-4 with doubles from Cristiano and Sergio Ramos. It was an exhibition of how to play counter.
Mourinho could not be left out of this list either. Real Madrid made the perfect league in the 2011-12 season. The Whites broke the record for points with 100 and the record for goals with 122, still in force today. Personally, that year’s squad at Real Madrid is the most complete I have ever seen. It was the year of Cristiano Ronaldo’s ‘calm, calm’ at the Camp Nou.
Zidane arrived as the savior of Real Madrid … twice. At two o’clock he completely turned the team around. In 2016 he linked a streak of 3 Champions in a row and 7 titles in just 2 and a half years to return the whites to their place. In 2019 he took the sunken team and in less than a year he made him league champion. He stayed close to a historic double last year. Holy hand.
We could make an entry for each of the 4 Champions that Real Madrid won between 2014 and 2018. In order not to abuse, we will reduce the 3 in a row they won to just one. Once again Atlético de Madrid (1-1 and 5-3 on penalties), Juventus (4-1) and Liverpool succumbed to the reign of Zidane’s in Europe.
Without a doubt, the Tenth Champions is the best moment in recent years at Real Madrid. Surely throughout the 21st century. They beat Atlético de Madrid with the agonizing goal of Sergio Ramos (4-1) and returned to reign in Europe 12 years later. With Ancelotti on the bench. Unmatched.
