On Saturday, Real Madrid secured their 14th Champions League title, with Carlo Ancelotti becoming the first coach to claim the trophy four times.
This achievement marked Ancelotti's second victory as Real Madrid's boss, following his two triumphs with AC Milan.
The Spanish champions' pedigree, both on and off the field, has created a calm confidence that has seen them overcome the toughest tests in this year's competition.
Real Madrid's journey to the final was marked by several dramatic comebacks, including a 3-2 win over Paris St Germain, where Karim Benzema scored a hat-trick, and a 3-1 win over Manchester City in the semi-finals.
Against Liverpool, Real Madrid survived early dominance and a disallowed Benzema goal before taking control of the game after halftime, securing their victory with a single goal.
Ancelotti's success has been built on strong relationships with his senior players, including Benzema and Luka Modric, whom he trusts to make key decisions on the field.
