Real Madrid fans will want to let the good times roll, as one more golden age seems to be starting for the Spanish giants.
Zinedine Zidane's team dominated Manchester United for a good portion of the game, getting a two-goal lead before the 60th-minute mark. The Red Devils fought back, but after Lukaku's goal, Real enjoyed the best chances to get a wider margin on the scoreboard.
After the 2-1 result, Real Madrid confirmed themselves as the most successful team in the international scenario, winning more trophies than any other club in history.
"Real Madrid (who else?) is the FIRST team in football history to win 25 international titles."

If that wasn't enough cause for celebration, the Spanish giants added more accolades to their resume by winning their 11th straight International tournament. No other club in history has accomplished such a feat.

Just like back in June, Real Madrid became the first team since AC Milan to win back-to-back UEFA Super Cup titles. Now, Los Blancos need only one more to match Barcelona and Milan as the most winning side in this competition.

And if that wasn't enough, Zinedine Zidane needs some credit for his massive job since he took over in January, 2016.
