Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed what he believes to be the true "secret" behind Real Madrid's Champions League dominance. In a recent video on his YouTube channel, the Portuguese star dismissed the notion that Madrid's success is due to luck. Instead, he credited the club's consistent European superiority to a blend of strategy, mentality, and preparation.
"Madrid are the kind of team that don't give up under pressure," Ronaldo said. He emphasized that, contrary to popular belief, the club’s success in the competition isn’t just good fortune. "People say they are lucky in the Champions League, but it's not luck, it's brains. They are prepared for these moments. The Bernabéu has that different aura. The energy is different when the big teams go there. Pressure gets the better of them," added the former Real Madrid striker.
Ronaldo also lauded the club's legacy, stating, "Real Madrid is the best club in the history of football." He expressed confidence that with new signings like Mbappé, Madrid will continue to be a formidable force, growing stronger as it always has.
