In the group stages, Real lost their opening group game to Moldovan minnows Sheriff Tiraspol but did go on to win their group stage campaign.
With less than 30 minutes to go, Real were 2-0 down in their round of 16 tie with Paris Saint-Germain but came back to win 3-2 after a Karim Benzema hat-trick.
In the final win over Liverpool, where Vinicius Jr scored the only goal of the tie, Liverpool dominated the game but Real got the winner despite having just three attempts to the Reds’ 23.
