Beware Real Madrid in the Champions League

The 13-time champions have made winning this competition look routine over the years. Even after an up and down season and Liverpool up next, they’re in no doubt they can win it again

If there's one thing Zinedine Zidane knows how to do, it's win in the Champions League.

The French great was a winner as a player - when he was a goalscorer in the final so famously - while he has gone on to lift club football's most famous trophy on three occasions as a manager, all with Real Madrid.

The most recent of those came in 2018 when the 13-time winners beat Liverpool in an infamous and bad tempered contest in Kiev.
