The year of the 14th: The Way

These days, in bits and pieces as I have time for it, I'm watching the Bernabéu documentary.

How lucky we were, Real Madrid fans and fans of this sport in general, to be able to live the legacy left by his immense figure.

Over time, and with their differences, Sir Florentino Pérez will be remembered with similar longing. With its mistakes (probably the first is communication strategy) but with its infinite successes.

In that line, I firmly believe that this season, which is the fourteenth, began its journey with a phrase for history "Maybe we have to remind UEFA who Real Madrid is" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z3r6RXwBsY < p style="text-align: justify;">And we did it.

This is a club that has won everything, we work based on challenges. And when instead of Benfica they put us at PSG, we grew up. When we saw that this was going to vindicate the old football against the state clubs... we did it. We went back and back and back.

It is a legitimate question, these days, to think about which European Cup has made us more excited. Discounting by age (in my case, we will have more mature readers) the first six... it is inevitable to put 2 highlights.

1. The Seventh: For making us believe that we could return to our European scepter. For what Mijatovic's goal meant against that powerful Juve

2. La Décima: Because it was the neighbor. For the 92.48. For how long it took to do justice in that game. Because that generation deserved to remove the lid, the moral stopper that was being talking every day about the tenth.

All of this being true, we have now the fourteenth.

How difficult it is to achieve something like that... and it is on our Champions League podium. Not by the final match, but by the way, the path to the final. We won the important day, we did what we had to do against a worthy, historic rival. We went surgical.

The enjoyable, the unforgettable, has been the journey. A concatenation of historical nights that is already part of our unique heritage.

The year of the 14 in Paris. Even Rafa has lifted the 14 in Paris, we have it all now.

We will always remember this year and this squad. And that phrase from Florentino, which became an anthem
