In Real’s run to the CL win, they defeated the French league Champions, the outgoing European Champions, the English league Champions and the winners of the League Cup. They also defeated the top 3 teams in the Premier League.
The other difficult run I can remember is their run in 2017/18, where they were in a group with Dortmund, Spurs, knocked out PSG, Juve, and Bayern (champions of France, Italy, and Germany) before defeating Liverpool in the final.
In 1999, we played Barcelona and Bayern Munich in the group stages (a group of death), played Inter and Juve in the knock out stages, and then defeated Bayern in the final. We went through this CL campaign undefeated.
The benefit of our run in 99, and their run this year is that they also won the domestic league, which obviously adds some credibility to their ‘best’ status.
Which season’s CL run & win would you say are the best?
