What have been the secrets behind Real Madrid’s charge for the history books this season?

Eventually falling 10 points adrift of defending their La Liga crown last season, Real Madrid certainly faced a real backlash around the Spanish capital.

However, while it might have appeared last summer that Carlo Ancelotti would be leaving the Bernabeu, Los Blancos have come roaring back in a remarkable fashion.

Mounting an iconic European comeback on Wednesday night as they booked their spot in this season’s Champions League final, Madrid will be heading to Wembley on June 1st when they meet Borussia Dortmund.

Officially claiming a history-making 36th domestic title last weekend as they stormed their way to a routine 3-0 romp against Cadiz, Ancelotti’s men are now 90 minutes away from completing a famous double-winning campaign.

Enjoying what has been a stunning flurry across all fronts this season, we have taken a look at some of the key factors behind Madrid’s success.

Making a £115million move from fellow Champions League finalists Borussia Dortmund last summer, Jude Bellingham has only continued on a record-breaking fairytale since arriving in the Spanish capital.

With some even tipping the former Birmingham starlet as a Ballon d’Or contender this year, Bellingham has already cemented his spot as the new post boy for Los Blancos.

With the 20-year-old’s stock at a red-hot high and many billing the England international as Europe’s Signing of the Season, Bellingham has continued to spearhead Madrid’s charge for a famous double-winning campaign.

Recording 18 La Liga goals in his 26 appearances this season and still battling it out in the chase to claim Spain’s Golden Boot, Ancelotti’s new talisman has been a vital part of Madrid’s success.

With the world at his feet and expected to play a leading role when the Three Lions arrive in Germany this summer for the 2024 European Championships, Bellingham is certainly one of the leading new faces of the modern era.
