The closest he got to winning the UCL was the 2020 edition when he led the Ligue 1 giants to the final, but a lone goal from Kingsley Coman won the trophy for Bayern Munich.

"In every season, Real Madrid are always one of the heavyweights tipped to win European club football's greatest prize," he said.
