It's important to highlight the club's remarkable ability to maintain competitive momentum throughout the years. Real Madrid works like a Swiss clock, and all thanks to one man, Florentino Pérez. "Here there is only one captain, and he is named Florentino Pérez. We [the squad] are just sailors onboard his ship. He is the one responsible for creating this team of incredible footballers," shared Ancelotti during a post-game conference.

The Real Madrid squad is enjoying great form this 2023-24 season, regardless of its occasional injuries here and there. The Spanish team has a wide range of young talents, that could dominate the football scene for the next decade.

Courtois, Militao, and Alaba have been injured, Vinicius Jr. has missed 3 months, Jude Bellingham another two months and, despite this, the club has won the league with 4 games left to play, the Spanish Super Cup and is in on the way to Wembley for the UCL final.

Now with the league secured, Carlo Ancelotti has been rotating the squad ahead of the Wembley final. Players with secondary roles like Joselu, Brahim, Arda Güler, and Ceballos have been engaged throughout the season, which speaks volumes about Ancelotti's management.

The 2022 Champions League was the stuff of dreams, with remarkable comebacks at the Bernabeu against PSG, Chelsea and Manchester City. Although history doesn't repeat itself, it often rhythms, and that is very much the case for Real Madrid's 2024 season.

Real Madrid's hegemony over the Champions League speaks for itself: 12 of the last 14 semi-finals and 6 of the last 10 finals. All eyes are locked on Wembley next June 1st!

What makes Real Madrid a great club is its passionate fanbase all over the world. The club estimates there are 1,000 million 'Madridistas' in the world.

The club's image is its greatest asset. It's history and its legacy in the world of football is what attracts great talents, regardless of money. Money is temporary, glory is eternal.

There are future projects on the horizon such as the Super League, spearheaded by Florentino Pérez — an alternate competition to the Champions League, cutting out UEFA and FIFA.

Real Madrid is ranked 11th amongst the richest teams in the world €5.5bn (£4.8bn/$6.1bn). They are ranked behind the Dallas Cowboys (NFL), New York Yankees (MLB), and Golden State Warriors (NBA), according to Forbes.
