Juventus v Real Madrid - UEFA Champions League Final
Real Madrid successfully defended their Champions League crown in 2017

19-time holders of the crown, Real Madrid are arguably one of the strongest teams in recent years. A remarkable club with a glorious history, Madrid have had their share of problems in the Spanish league thus far, but the Los Blancos have proved their brilliance in the UEFA Champions League, and in an astounding Super Copa win over eternal rivals FC Barcelona.

Captained by an inspirational Sergio Ramos, Los Blancos are the defending La Liga and UEFA Champions League champions.

Recognised as strong contenders for those two titles, Real Madrid would rely upon their attacking flair under the guidance of talismanic forward Cristiano Ronaldo to grab the Copa del Rey as well, in an attempt to run away with yet another treble.

Real Madrid's squad depth with the likes of Isco, Casemiro, Ceballos, Asensio, and Kovacic would be crucial in their bid for the Copa del Rey, as fatigue is inevitably a cause for concern for Zidane's overworked squad.
