Keep your ligas, we will keep our CLs

name another team that won this many CLs in 5 year

you are seeing history

These clowns actually believe a couple offside goals and some 50/50 penalty calls will be more remembered down the line than Ronaldo and Bale's overhead kicks, the Juve and Atletico trashings, the dramatic 2014 final, the Pep humiliation in the Allianz etc...

The interesting thing about this Bayern team is that they only won 1 league title during those 3 years and even managed to finish 10th in one of those seasons. Yet people still view them as a legendary team and the backbone of the 1974 world cup winning team.

That Bayern team is a legendary team (just like the current Real Madrid team is) of course but at the same time they are not really in the conversation about the greatest team of all time.

Btw they obviously were the backbone of the WC winning team but that doesn't really tell us anything about the Bayern team itself.

Imagine thinking this Madrid side isn't one of the best in history

Now that's delusion

Watching Madrid fans in these threads -- absolute gold

You've had more to say about this than Madrid and Liverpool fans combined.

CBarca and Cruyjf have been struggling with us threepeating the CL, it's been hard for them, they thought MSN would do it, let's be nice

I didn't like MSN much, that team won the treble but immediately after I said that I didn't think they were anywhere near the best teams of all time. I still believe the same. I said they weren't in the same category of Pep's Barca. They actually remind me a lot of this current Madrid team, but with more league success.

Imagine winning the CL 3 times in a row but people still don't rate you above Pep's Barca. You start to understand the insecurity

who is people exactly? barca fans and the collection of madrid haters from teams we mercelessly rekt in the past 5 years? there is a lot of butthurt fan bases out there

listen to your captain, he knows

No idea why you keep arguing with him, Nick. Let him have his opinion and enjoy the legendary accomplishment that your club has accomplished. An accomplishment that no other team in the modern era, including Pepcelona, could do or even came close to doing.

The accomplishment is so great it's not up for debate. Our club is legendary, congrats

You seem to be extremely insecure.

its called bragging rights, we've earned it. when barcelona won their trebles i didn't bash them, hell i spent most of the time bashing our team after cristiano was celebrating scoring 4 in a meaningless game vs getafe when the rivals were preparing to meet juve. brag on folks, brag on. whoever wins next time will have the floor. but for now 3 straight and lucky 13 is all that matters. deal with it

please tell me your from spain at least.

Can't see any club even coming close to them in terms of European cups in my lifetime.

I don't blame cSpurs/Barca and young man Cruyjf for their annoyance in seeing Madrid win 3 in a row. I would be hella pissed to see Barcelona or Jjuve do that (sorta have no beef with Bayern doing because of Hans). They are actually taking it way better than many other Barcelona/Messi fans out here so top marks to them.

now the euphoria has settled, this is not the greatest team of all time;not even the greatest madrid team. last season's team was better, the la decima team too imo was even better than this one. and despite not winning ucl i really enjoyed watching the la liga team under mourinho. so no, not the greatest team (that's highly dependent on viewers and what they like). greatest achievement? yes, at least in recent time

btw the euphoria hasn't really settled

its not about performance on a single season, of course last year we played at a much higher level. it's about how good this team has been for the past 5 years and how high they consistently elevated their level to win 4 Champions league. You can't be the best ever by winning one year and doing nothing behind it.

This Madrid team as if, without serious reinforcement will crash and burn next season, we were very close already this season, we wont escape it again

our trophy case displaying the Champions league in madrid is literally not big enough to display a 13th trophy. We have to make some changes to upgrade the space

oh i thought y'all where going by season. it depends on time frame (5 years, 10 years etc) and why said time frame is being selected; lol but who cares we did it, that's what matters.

5 years timeframe is relevant because we did not have to change the squad. the core has mainly been the same.

It really hard for me to imagine an overhaul of a 3 time winning CL team... I honestly thing we have two problems: Depth and a better scoring CF. That's it. Go get some depth and a starting 11 CF (the later is easier said than done btw).

Nzonzi, Griezmann, Pavard and Pacheco.... that's my dream summer. Ronaldo/Griezmann can handle all the scoring while Asensio/Isco can handle the other forward spot. I think Benzema loves Madrid so much that he won't mind being a rotation player.

Feck I hope Zidane doesn't give up on our young players to get overhyped French youngsters
