Before the ball rolls: Who is more worthy than Real Madrid?

(Baonghean.vn) - In just a few days, the top European club tournament will find the owner to lift the prestigious silver cup. Over the past 3 weeks, there has been a recurring refrain: Real Madrid or Juventus, who is more worthy of the throne?

Before the ball rolled and the referee blew the whistle to end the match, the experts, players of both teams and football fans were discussing and speculating about who deserved it more. Everyone had their own reasons and they were all very reasonable.

In this article, I would like to give my personal opinion based on real statistics. First of all, like many others, I boldly choose the team that deserves to win the Champions League this year, which is Real Madrid.

It would be considered "guessing" to choose the name to win the championship without being able to give reasonable reasons. Therefore, the author himself will use some evidence to confirm why he chose Los Blancos and not the "Zebras" from Italy.

The first,The form and spirit of the "royal team" are currently very high. The evidence is that since the defeat in the El Clasico match against rival Barcelona, ​​the Bernabeu team has won 6/7 matches in both La Liga and Champions League.

Winning 15/15 absolute points in the last 5 rounds of the highest football tournament in Spain helped Real Madrid win the championship after 5 years of waiting. The 33rd title in La Liga that coach Zidane and his team won was like a mental boost, turning into a springboard for Ronaldo and his teammates to be more confident in the match against Juventus.

Atletico's 1-2 defeat at Vicente Calderon in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final not only did not affect their ticket to the Millennium Stadium to play the final match of the season, but also helped Real Madrid players learn a useful lesson about mental preparation and how to approach the match.

It seems that the easy 3-0 victory a week ago made coach Zidane and his team somewhat complacent in the rematch with home team Atletico Madrid. Zizou's timely tactical adjustments and Benzema's brilliant play saved Los Blancos from "disaster". Thanks to the lesson from the defeat against Atletico Madrid, Ronaldo and his teammates will be extremely dangerous in the upcoming final.

Monday,For more than two decades, no team has successfully defended the championship title, since the tournament was named Champions League (1992/1993). 24 years have passed, the defending champions have had to sadly hand over the trophy to the new owner.

After the Olympic Marseille, AC Milan, Ajax, Juventus, Dortmund, MU, Bayern Munich, Porto, Barcelona, ​​Chelsea, Inter Milan and even Real Madrid still could not keep the silver cup for 2 consecutive seasons. That is why people invented the phrase "Champions League curse". The upcoming final against Juventus is the 5th time Los Blancos have the opportunity to break that hateful "curse".

Perhaps the history of the Champions League has favored and chosen Real Madrid to take on this great and glorious mission. Objectively speaking, apart from Juventus fans, anti-fans (especially Cules), all football fans hope that the Bernabeu team will successfully break the "Champions League curse".

Because, no team is more deserving than Real Madrid. From the number of titles (11 times), recent achievements (3 times in the final and 2 times in the last 3 seasons) and reputation (voted the best team of the 20th century), who can compare to Los Blancos!

In all aspects, from the past to the present, the "royal team" is still better than its opponent from the "boot-shaped" country. Of course, everything is still just speculation.

The statistics at this time are nothing more than reference value, and make the atmosphere before the Real Madrid - Juventus final more exciting and attractive. Those who love the "Old Lady of Turin", along with those who hate the Bernabeu team, also have reason to believe that the "Champions League curse" will happen again.
