Football fans attend the UEFA Champions League Festival on Regent Street in London, Britain, May 30, 2024. REUTERS/Chris J. RatcliffeLONDON : Real Madrid face Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final at Wembley Stadium on Saturday with Carlo Ancelotti's side seeking to add another chapter to the club's already astonishing love affair with European soccer's elite trophy.
Rivals often joked about Real's European Cups all being won in black and white, but the generation of Raul, Fernando Hierro and Roberto Carlos helped Real flourish again in full colour broadcasts when they won three Champion Leagues in five seasons. They signed Toni Kroos from Bayern Munich, Sevilla's Sergio Ramos, Karim Benzema of Lyon, Gareth Bale from Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo - all under 24 and set to reach their peak during the following decade in Spain.
Then, with Ancelotti back at the helm, they claimed another in 2022, crowning a remarkable campaign full of late comebacks that proved they were more than a team built around Ronaldo after the Portuguese left following the 2018 title in Kiev. However, barely missing a beat, Vinicius Jr, Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo have taken on the famous white shirt and are already looking to establish the next Real dynasty.
