While the three-peat is one of the greatest achievements in football history, I’ll have to remind you that Real only could do it because we had already lost the league in ‘16 and ‘18.

Our squad (I am a Real fan) was filled with big game players, but over the course of a season, we couldn’t hold up against Barca. We never managed a treble win, which Barca did twice.

Still, winning 3 UCLs in a row is insane. Many clubs go all in on the UCL instead of the league every year, and still don’t win. We did that 2 years in 3, and dominated in 2017. However, we wouldn’t have done it had Barca not been the overall better team during our three-peat stint, ironically.

I’m a Real Madrid fan and even I can see that Barca is clearly better. Only years we were truly better than them is 2012, probably 2014, maybe 2016 and 2017.

We had so many performances against them where we were dominated. The 5-0. The UCL Semis in 2011. And many more. When we won we usually only won by 1 and very rarely 2.

I don’t want to downplay Real, I think our team in the 2010s is the second best club side ever. Sadly, the only one in history that’s better is Barca during the same time.
