who left the Madrid he had created because he could not dominate the galácticos, paternally embraced the champions on the grass of Saint Denis.

They all won the Champions League, but Madrid from the Decimocuarta is the one that does it with less ego, after reaching the summit in Europe without Cristiano and with their two large investments and main salaries,

, out of the field and out of focus.

Florentino says of his players that they are "very professional and Real Madrid fans."

The first is enough, because professionalism implies commitment, although it is true that cohabitation has generated an unusual adherence.

: «I have spent my whole life in changing rooms and I have managed many teams, but this is probably the one that has been easier for me because of the collaboration of the players».

THE EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE OF ANCELOTTI

The management of the Italian, a self-taught emotional intelligence, is no stranger.

It is a team from which

, whose desire was to continue, says goodbye without reproaches, something unusual in Spanish football, in general, and in Madrid, in particular.

A team in which young people have grown, the alternative bet of the president to the operations in which the club-states now rule, and which had two great protagonists in the final:

Benzema's transformation in his maturity has been essential to make him the leader of the goal and the game, and a benchmark for his commitment and behavior.

Marginalized by his selection for years as a result of the 'Valbuena case', Madrid went from being his club to his emotional habitat.

His balance is also influenced by his new life in Madrid, with his old partner and his children.

They do not generate animosities that cross the threshold of rivalries.

It is essential for the stability of a team.

The three together cost 10 million less than what Madrid paid for Bale or Hazard.

The performance is unmatched.

Madrid has always counted on them and the business model of the club, one of the main brands in the football industry, needs them.

The opening of a futuristic Bernabéu, next season, also calls for it.

The difference is the risks and the rush.
