Manchester City chief executive Ferran Soriano has claimed that Real Madrid were “lucky” to win the 2021/22 Champions League.
Carlo Ancelotti’s Real side won the competition for the 14 th time for the club’s history and for the fifth time in eight years last month with a 1-0 win in the final over Liverpool in Paris, having been on the brink of exiting the competition in each of their round of 16, quarter-final and semi-final ties.
In the group stages, Real lost their opening group game to Moldovan minnows Sheriff Tiraspol but did go on to win their group stage campaign. With less than 30 minutes to go, Real were 2-0 down in their round of 16 tie with Paris Saint-Germain but came back to win 3-2 after a Karim Benzema hat-trick.
