#3 Real Madrid have shown great character in UCL
Real Madrid may have had an unimpressive stint in the league this season, but the story is far too different in the Champions League. Zidane's men have been an entirely different unit in Europe, showing relentless desire to win and avoid a trophyless season.
Los Blancos have come from behind at least once in each of the rounds, starting from their first-leg victory against Paris Saint Germain.
The rivals fans went gaga as Madrid beat Juventus with a last minute penalty, deeming them lucky enough to get one in the dying minutes of the game. However, what's surprising is how they have underestimated the pressure that comes along with such situations.
It is Ronaldo's prowess at scoring from the spot that makes penalties look easy, but they aren't as simple as they seem to be. But in circumstances such as the one against the Old Lady, Ronaldo and co deserve more than just pats on their backs; they are worthy of a standing ovation.
