Real Madrid has the perfect 4-1-2-3 formation that has guided them to five Champions League titles in the last 9 years. As much as it feels like it, this is not just happenstance.  Everything changed for the club after the 12-13 season of the UCL, the year that Bayern Munich won their fifth Champions League title by defeating their arch rivals BVB Dortmund.

After being linked to a number of clubs including the likes of Manchester City and PSG, and with a foreseeable future away from Juventus, the GOAT Cristiano Ronaldo finally joins his former club Manchester United.  Cristiano's first spell with MUFC saw him achieve 118 Goals and 69 Assists in 292 Games and win a total of 10 trophies including the Premiere League thrice.
