Real Madrid's 2024 Champions League title was crowned by a team led by Jude Bellingham, Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, Vinicius. Júnior and other young players are the core of the new galaxy fleet, and their place in the history of the Champions League. When Real Madrid won the Champions League two years ago, there were already several players in the team who won the Champions League, accumulating to five, which was already the most active at that time.

With the departure of Casemiro and Benzema, Real Madrid has completed the reorganization with great speed and is now on the top of Europe again. The 2024 Champions League title marks the achievement of four players in Real Madrid's squad, becoming the player who has won the Champions League the most times since its restructuring in 1991, a total of 6 times.

Tony Cross: Honorable retirement

With his abrupt announcement of retirement last month, Toni Kroos has recently become a news figure in the game. He started his career at Bayern Munich and won the treble as a midfielder in 2013 to start his Champions League triumph.

"Only" 34 years old, this year is his 10th year with Real Madrid, he was invited to join after winning the World Cup that year, and has been a main midfielder for the past decade, with three consecutive titles between 16-18, 22 years and these five titles this year, all thanks to Tony Kroos.

Luka Modric: The old man is in the bush

Not to mention Modric, an important contributor to Real Madrid's regain of the Champions League title in 2014, his hard work, coverage, technology and fire in the midfield have supported Real Madrid's midfield for more than ten years. The previous three consecutive titles in 16-18 years relied on the iron triangle of midfield between him and Toni Kroos and Casemiro. In this year's Champions League final, Luka Modric stepped back to the bench and replaced his good partner Toni Kroos in the 86th minute, holding on to Real Madrid's two-goal advantage at the last minute to achieve his sixth Champions League title.

At the age of 38, the most respectable thing about him is that his age has not limited his desire to compete for the championship, and he has always maintained the most physical style of play, and at the same time accompanied the growth of Federico Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga, Tchouameni and other new generation of Real Madrid midfielders, so that Real Madrid has not had the problem of not being young.

Daniel Carvajal: Riding solo on the right

Daniel Carvajal, as Real Madrid's "own son", returned to the team after a year of training in the Bundesliga in 2013 and has been Real Madrid's first choice at right-back ever since. With his growing defensive experience and excellent assist ability, Daniel Carvajal has been able to stand tall in Real Madrid's No. 2 position in the past decade in direct competition with players such as Lucas Vazquez and Odriosola.

With Benzema leaving at Real Madrid this season, Carlo Ancelotti switched to a 4-3-1-2 formation, moving the two Brazilian wingers to the middle and forming a new attacking pattern with new signing Jude Bellingham. Bidding farewell to the previous 4-3-3 formation, the home formation is now conditionally contracted inward, relying on Daniel Carvajal's ability to get up and down the right flank.

Nacho: Captain with a low profile

Nacho, the defender who is captaining the team this season, has not been as good as Ramos, Marcelo, Alaba, and other stars in the past, and he is not the team's starting team, but he has been in camp service and has been low-key. He has the characteristics of "jack-of-all-trades", and he is good at the left, center and right sides of the back, and fills in when the team needs him.

Being able to stay in the extremely competitive Real Madrid for so many years, Nacho's strength goes without saying, but he doesn't have so many opportunities to play with other stars. In this Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund, he also kept a clean sheet as a starting centre-back, and he deserved six Champions League titles.

With Toni Kroos announcing his retirement and Mbappe joining Real Madrid next year, if he can complete the task of dominating Real Madrid again, then Nacho, Modric, Daniel Carvajal, the three senior Real Madrid players, will be the legends who have won the Champions League for 7 years, outperforming all professional footballers in history.
