5 reasons why Real Madrid will become the first team to retain the Champions League

#3 Great squad depth

Real’s immense squad depth means that a injury crisis probably wont be a problem

It takes only one look at Real Madrid’s squad for the Champions League to realise the immense stockpile of talent that the club has within their ranks. Every position can be accounted for with some very talented players who could easily hold their own against any team in the world.

The squad at Zidane’s disposal has meant that the Frenchman can arguably set out two entirely different playing elevens in varying competitions without compromising their chances and still manage to steamroll their opponents.

The likes of Kiko Casilla, Alvaro Morata, Fabio Coentrao and James Rodriguez who usually warm the bench for Los Blancos could each walk into the playing 11 of many of the teams in the competition, meaning that even an injury crisis would arguably do little to derail their chances of winning the competition once again.
