imagine going from creating the most insane attacking Trio on the continent to winning the champions league three times in a row Prime Real Madrid was unmatched it gets even crazier when you realize this was a team that took over 20 years in the making this one goes back to the early 2000s Real Madrid was trying to stamp their Authority has the biggest team in the continent and just a few years into his tenure as president president Florentino Perez introduced a brand that would change the game the galacticos the idea behind this was to sign the
best players in the world and get them to play for Madrid so they got guys like zidon from Juventus for a world record fee of 77.5 million Ronaldo Nazario from Inter Milan for 40 million got Beckham from Manchester United 2 years later for 37.5 million and perhaps the most controversial one was this guy Luis Figo from their Arch Rivals Barcelona the signings did work out Madrid won the Champions League in 2002 and a couple of League titles later on but as the years progressed these guys left and the dudes that followed after didn't quite have
the magic they did from 2005 to 2010 they got knocked out of the Champions League in the round of 16 Stage 5 years years in a row the managerial changes didn't help too guys like Fabio Capello and Manuel Pelini came in but didn't do much until the summer of 2010 when Florentino Perez struck again and this time he went for broke one year earlier they had the most insane transfer window in the club's history the galactic gos 2.0 Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United for 80 million and the same window they got the 2007 bendor winner
Kaka from AC Milan kareim Bena from Leon Gonzalo igain came in too and the squad was stacked one year on and Perez knew to get the best out of a team like this he'd need a Serial winner someone who'd gotten an insane track record of winning against the odds and that's when this guy came in Jose Mourinho Champions League winner with Porto in 2004 back-to-back Premier League titles with Chelsea 2 years later and in 2010 he won the treble with Inter Milan mourinho's first season at Madrid didn't quite go according to plan in his biggest
game of this season they got beat 5 nil by Barcelona and got knocked out of the Champions League by the same team they did manage to win the Copa del Rey later though and I guess that served as motivation coming into the new season because in 202 12 Madrid hit another gear and completely took over winning the league doesn't even tell half the story they completely shattered records on the way they got 100 points that season at the time A La Liga record and scored 121 goals in the League 2 another La Liga record won
the competition with four games to play with Faldo on form and players like massud oil pulling the strings this team should have been Peak Real Madrid but in the Champions League they agonizingly got knocked out in the semis losing to Bayern Munich at home on pens and that night Mourinho himself admitted it was the most painful defeat of his career and it set the stage for the next years to come at the end of 2013 Mourinho was ready to leave the special one wanted to go back to Chelsea and in turn Madrid got Carlo angelotti
from PSG as the new coach and Don Carlo delivered the big one La desima a first Champions League title since 2002 and they did it in style too Ronaldo hit an all-time high in the competition with 17 goals that season including scoring in the final so did their record signing Gareth Bale but on the whole Madrid lost out on the league to City Rivals Atletico Madrid and in The Following season they watched on as Barcelona hit a second treble in 6 years Madrid needed a reaction and that's what all of this has been building up
to because in the summer of 2015 Peak Real Madrid was underway that summer there was a new man at The Dugout actually a club Legend zidon had taken up the role of head coach at the club and his first assignment was taking Madrid back to the peak barcel won the league That season but but in the Champions League it was Madrid's competition they somehow found a way in the quarterfinals against Wolfsburg they look dead and buried after a 2-n defeat in Germany but in the second leg Cristiano Ronaldo stole the show with a hattrick to
seal a 3-2 comeback they beat Man City 1 nil on aggregate in the semis and in the final against City Rivals Atletico Madrid the second one in 3 years it was decided on pets and Ronaldo made sure this one ended up in the city of Madrid another Champions League title impressive 201617 now and under zidan Madrid now had a recognizable core see in 2015 their Rivals Barcelona had created an attacking Force known as the MSN with Messi Namar and Suarez and in return Madrid responded with their own attacking Trio Kareem Bena Gareth Bale and Cristiano
Ronaldo in Midfield there was no mistaking it Luca Modric Tony Cruz and casemiro at the base at the back Captain Sergio Ramos and rapael Veron formed the center back partnership with Marcelo at left back and Carvajal at right back Madrid's golden team winning the Champions League was great but now zidon wanted to conquer home turf once again that was was the mission see they didn't just win they dominated too and hit another set of Records along the way to start the season Madrid won the UEFA super cup beating Sevilla in the final attention shifted back
to the league henz Adon shut his critics up going back to 2016 someone said he was just lucky he couldn't do it in domestic competitions but by the end of the campaign there was no goalkeeper who kept a clean she against them they scored in every game in the competition and despite an El Classico defeat to take it to the final day with the pressure on Madrid came big to win 3 nil at Mala and secure a first league title since 2012 in Europe they once again made history backto back Champions League titles the first
team in the modern Champions League era to do so Madrid faced the best That season and came out hot Ronaldo stole the show too he bagged Hatt tricks in back-to-back Champions League knockout games against Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich and scored a brace in the final against Juventus Madrid ran out 41 winners on the night and cemented their place in history there's no way they'd have been able to do it again right three in a row 201718 now and the core of the Madrid team was still the same they lost out on the League to
Barca but in Europe Los Blancos were Kings a third Champions League title Ronaldo was the Champions League top scorer for the third season in a row Tony Cruz Luca modri and casmiro outplayed European teams in the competition and a backline that quite simply never gave a peak football the truth is Real Madrid's 3p Champions League team felt like a chode a football hack the amount of talent in the team was insane in every position they had depth when guys like Ronaldo and Bena weren't playing they could switch it up to players like eull Marco asencio
matelo kichic and Lucas Vasquez the Madrid DNA went hard and the attacking football they put on was breathtaking after 2018 it went downhill for a bit Ronaldo shocked the world and joined Juventus to become Madrid's record transfer sale sidon left as head coach in the same window and in the season that followed Madrid failed to win a single trophy awful it's 2024 now and it looks like a galactico 3.0 is about to kickoff in the bernabo Madrid is stacked venicius Jr's been in the form of his career since 2021 scoring the winning goal in the
Champions League final of 2022 and another Champions League final goal weeks back add that to a young core of Rodrigo goz Eduardo kamov Jude Bellingham feder Rico valde ARA goair and Brahim Diaz and Madrid are all set to dominate for the best decade especially after signing this guy they finally did it with mbappe now Madrid looks stronger than ever and who knows maybe he could be the missing piece to Madrid becoming an even more formidable force in Europe it's all set for the future but for now until these guys do it consistently at least him
