The year real Madrid became the first club since ac Milan in 1990 to successfully defend their UCL title. In 2017 real Madrid had a tricky quarter-final encounter against German champions Bayern Munich. Riding high on their first leg advantage real Madrid started the match positively but it was the German club who took the lead via a Lewandowski penalty soon after the second half.
