On Saturday, Real Madrid will locks horns with Liverpool in a highly-anticipated Champions League final. Real Madrid will face a tricky test in the form of the Reds but know they can make history by winning this competition for the third year in a row.
That is not to say Los Blancos hasn't already broken records in their 2017/18 campaign. Zidane's men enjoyed an unforgettable campaign in which they beat PSG, Juventus, and Bayern Munich en route to Kyiv. Here are the best numbers from the Spanish giant's historical season.
Most consecutive UCL semi-final appearances
Victory over Bayern Munich was Real Madrid's most recent victory, but it was the triumph over Juventus that earned them this record. After eliminating the Italian giant, they became the first team to make eight Champions League semi-finals in a row.
Another record final
Of course, Los Blancos then eliminated the Bundesliga champion to book a historical 16th Champions League/European Cup final, beating the all-time high of 15 that they previously held.
Ending a 20-year feat
Since Juventus in 1998, no team had made three Champions League final in a row. Los Blancos has just put that feat to the sword.
Ronaldo's winning record
The 2-1 win at the Allianz Arena in the first-leg semi-final saw Cristiano (99) overtake Casillas (98) as the player to have won the most number of Champions League games.

Cristiano's unforgettable group stage performance
The 33-year-old also became the first player to score in all six group stage matches at the beginning of this campaign.
The 11-game goalscoring run
Unsurprisingly, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner is back, this time for his goalscoring streak. His strike in the 3-1 home defeat to Juventus was the 11th straight Champions League game that he found the back of the net in, which is now a record.
