This demonstrates the club’s faith in their abilities and their importance to the team’s success in the Champions League.

As the journey towards Wembley 2024 begins, Real Madrid fans eagerly await the opportunity to witness their beloved team in action on the grandest stage of European football. The squad selection reinforces the club’s ambition and determination to reclaim their position at the pinnacle of the sport.
