Why La Decima is so important to Real Madrid
Real Madrid’s La Decima is the club’s tenth European Cup/Champions League title, which they achieved by defeating city rivals Atlético Madrid in extra time in 2014 final. It was also Real Madrid’s first European Cup/Champions League title in twelve years since they last won the competition in 2002.
This video explains why La Decima was so important to Real Madrid and their fans:
In Spanish football, winning the European Cup/Champions League is known as “La Décima”. It is a term that is used to describe the tenth European Cup/Champions League title won by a team. In 2014, Real Madrid finally won their tenth European Cup/Champions League title, after a long wait of twelve years. The previous nine titles had been won by other clubs, including Barcelona (who have won five times), AC Milan (seven times), Liverpool (five times), and Bayern Munich (five times).
This made it, even more, sweeter for the Los Blancos fans.
The history of La Decima
La Decima is the name given to Real Madrid’s tenth European Cup/UEFA Champions League title, which they secured by winning the 2013-14 final.
The La Liga giants had come close to winning the tenth title on several occasions, most recently in 2002 when they lost 2-1 to Bayer Leverkusen in the final, but they finally got their hands on the trophy again after a dramatic 4-1 victory over city rivals Atlético Madrid in Lisbon.
The success also gave manager Carlo Ancelotti his third Champions League triumph, making him only the second coach after Bob Paisley to achieve such a feat.
The journey to La Decima
It had been almost a decade since Madrid had lifted the European Cup, and fans had begun to grow restless. In the 2013-14 season, they watched as their team came agonizingly close to winning La Liga, only to be pipped to the title by cross-city rivals Atlético Madrid on the final day of the season. Worse still, Madrid then lost to Atlético in the Champions League final, a match which saw club icon Sergio Ramos sent off and star player Cristiano Ronaldo injured.
The team started the season brightly, winning their first eight games in all competitions. However, they then hit a rough patch, losing four of their next six games. This included a humiliating 4-0 defeat at rival Barcelona in El Clásico.
