Benzema has stolen the show this season in the Champions League. It is also admirable that Real Madrid has escaped a few times from a hopeless position. In fact, Real Madrid is also the only team entitled to the championship. If you take out PSG, Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool all, then you are the very best. The final was not spectacular, but that will make little difference in Madrid. It is striking how much Real Madrid has won the CL in the last 10 years, compared to Barcelona not once.
Messi was on the verge of breaking that record again before leaving for PSG, the last time they fought to the final was in 2015, and Bayern gave them a sleek battle, ever since then, it has been either they get disqualified in a group of 16, quarter final, and semi final, that final has been difficult recently, and now that the Mighty Messi is gone, who knows when they will do that again.
Real Madrid was made for the Champions League, they have this Penchant for these kind of trophies, and if you look at how they display them in their showroom, you'd think they're the organizers of the championship.
