Last season was a massive one.

After winning the tournament for the 13th time, the Galaticos already had 'A por la 14' printed on their underwear at the final in stade de france, Paris against Liverpool who was also the record winner from the premier league having won the competition six times. They both had a quite good run to the final, with Liverpool been paired with AC milan, Atletico Madrid and Porto at the group stage level. They came out top with 18 points after winning all the matches both at home and away in the so called "Group of Death". They proceeded to the last 16 by taking on Inter Milan and won 2-1 on aggregate, then to the quarter final against Benfica and won 6-4 on aggregate, then to the semi final against Villarreal and won 5-2 on aggregate leading them to their third Champions league final in five years under Jurgen Klopp. Real madrid on the other hand had a more interesting and tough route to the final, they were paired with Inter Milan, Fc Sheriff and Shaktar Donetsk at the group stage level. They also came out top with 15 points with their only loss at home against the first timer of the competition, Fc Sheriff. They proceeded to the last 16 against Paris saint German and won on aggregate of 3-2 , then to the quarter final against Chelsea, won 5-4 on aggregate then went ahead to the semi final against Manchester City winning 6-5 against the Manchester team which led them to hoping for their 14th win of the Champions league. It's rollercoaster of emotions on the final day at the stade de france in Paris, both teams had this winning and monster mentality but the disappointing part was that there could only be a winner. Real madrid took the highlight of the day by beating Liverpool with only a goal to take on the gold medal and the trophy. The lone goal was scored by the Brazilian star, Vinicius Junior with an assist from the Uruguayan Midfielder, Federico Valverde and that wrapped up the tournament for the 2021/2022 season.
