La Decimocuarta

The Fourteenth, the Champions League of incredible comebacks, will now go down in the history of Real Madrid and universal football as the Champions League of the epic and the narrative turned into an epic. Also, she did not come into the world alone. It arrived accompanied by Liga 35, brilliantly won four days before the end of the Championship. Earlier, in January, Real Madrid had won the Spanish Super Cup, the twelfth in their record, after eliminating Barcelona and beating Athletic in the final. Then, in August, they lifted the European Super Cup, fifth in their personal account, after beating Eintracht Frankfurt. Such a prolific season at the collective level was accompanied by individual recognitions. Ancelotti became the first coach to win four European Cups and four continental Super Cups and also the only one to win all five major European Championships. For all this he was recognized by UEFA as the best coach of the year. Benzema monopolized all the awards of the course, both nationally and internationally: top scorer, best player and best goal in the Champions League, as well as top scorer in the League. The Frenchman crowned the task with the achievement of the Ballon d'Or, four years after it was lifted by his teammate Luka Modric.
