Real Madrid hoists the European Cup.

The one Real Madrid just completed is likely to be the only one of its kind. Los Blancos would have lost each one if quality of play had been the deciding factor. Real Madrid trailed late in each second leg against both Manchester City and Chelsea, but found a way to advance.

Real Madrid have won more European crowns than any other team. It took Madrid 12 years to win its 10th continental title. That is the start of five wins in nine seasons. The club has won multiple titles in a row. None of the others had the same level of emotion this year.

If it wasn't obvious just from the team's names, Real Madrid took down three straight English teams to win Europe. The English trio finished as the top three in league play and will return to the competition next season. In the second leg of the cup, Madrid got hit with a haymaker and was knocked out at the point where they were looking up at the lights, but they survived.

In the semifinals with Man City, that same official might have called the same number. Real Madrid was wobbled even harder. The stat sheet in Paris was dominated by the Reds. The Reds had 24 shots. Two of Madrid's four shots were on target. Vincius Jr., who will be an important part of Brazil's squad at the World Cup, scored the only goal in the 59th minute.

Real Madrid's Thibaut Courtois was the goalie win man of the match, as the game was played before a full crowd. It was one of the best performances by a goalkeeper in a European final, and it was the game of his life. It's unbelievable that Mohamed Salah is not on the score sheet twice. Los Blancos might be leaving the French capital without Kylian Mbapp, but they are leaving as Europe's champion and have lots of money to do it again next year.
