Real Madrid bathed in the glow of their La Liga triumph this weekend, parading the trophy for their adoring fans. Yet, amidst the celebrations, there was a distinct sense of unfinished business.
Los Blancos secured their 36th La Liga title in dominant fashion, wrapping it up with games to spare. Their victory parade, a traditional stop at the Cibeles fountain in the heart of Madrid, was a joyous affair. But even as players basked in the cheers, whispers of the upcoming Champions League final lingered in the air.
“Thank you for being here today,” veteran midfielder Luka Modric, a five-time Champions League winner himself, declared to the fans. “But I hope we see you all again in June!”
His words reflected the club’s relentless hunger for silverware. While La Liga glory is a significant achievement, Real Madrid’s true obsession lies in Europe. They are the record holders in the Champions League, having lifted the trophy a staggering 14 times.
This season’s European campaign has been another test of their resolve. After securing their La Liga crown, they shifted focus entirely to the Champions League, putting their domestic celebrations on hold. This laser focus proved successful as they battled through the knockout stages, booking their place in the final.
Now, with the La Liga trophy secured, all eyes turn to the biggest stage in European club football. Real Madrid will be eyeing a historic double, and their unwavering desire for continental glory suggests they won’t be easily denied.
