Although I was among those who doubted Real Madrid in the knockout stages but honestly, those doubts disappeared when Real Madrid got to the final round. Because for me, Real Madrid's journey or process in the knockout stages is not just about luck and it's not easy, because if I consider no team can have that kind of luck. Just imagine, when Real Madrid had to get rid of big teams that were even at their best, but Real Madrid always got a comeback in the second leg. Therefore, if I compare it with Liverpool's journey or process in the knockout stages, Real Madrid is still the favorite in the final. But somehow, at that time Liverpool were the favourites and that reflected in the odds and yes, in the end Real Madrid really had quality and it wasn't just about luck.
"Real Madrid is just lucky" That's the word I've always heard, from the knock-out stage to the final. Real Madrid was lucky to beat PSG in the last 16, Real Madrid was lucky to beat Chelsea in the quarter-finals, and so on. Lol
I couldn't believe they were saying that by luck, until Real Madrid completely silenced those who doubted them.
