About this episode
Real Madrid are the most successful team in the history of the Champions League/European Cup with 15 titles. But how have they achieved this? Steve Crossman and Guillem Balague explore Real's relationship with the competition, looking at their early dominance in the late 1950s, through to their six triumphs since 2014. We hear from former players Clarence Seedorf and Sami Khedira on what makes Real Madrid so special. And former coach Paul Clement joins the pod to give us insight into Carlo Ancelotti and their "La Decima" win in 2014 against Atletico Madrid. To watch the TV documentary, it is available on BBC iPlayer: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/m00276py/how-to-win-the-champions-league
