Without a doubt, Real Madrid is one of Europe’s richest teams. Just in the last 12 years the franchise has spent £999M to manage the team. A bit more worryingly though, also the last Champions League was won by los Blancos 12 years ago.
With such high investments not yielding the desired returns, Florentino Perez started having doubts about his future at the club. After Real blew the title against Celta Vigo, the Spanish President went to the dressing rooms and told the players he was unhappy with their performance.

In fact, the Portuguese star only pulled a muscle and the medical staff clearly stated that he will be fit for the final. During the last game, Ronaldo merely felt a bit of discomfort to an older injury and decided not to risk anything, in light of the upcoming UCL final.
