This season, Real Madrid has proven to be an unstoppable force in European football, clinching a remarkable victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-final return leg, with a final score of 2-1. This victory not only secured their spot in the tournament's final but also marked an impressive overall win with a score of 4-3. The triumph has placed Real Madrid on a historic pedestal, setting a new club record under the guidance of Carlo Ancelotti.

Throughout the Champions League, Ancelotti’s team has remained undefeated in 12 consecutive matches, the best streak in the club's storied history. This series of successes began on September 20th last year when the Madrid team narrowly defeated Union Berlin with a 1-0 scoreline. Their relentless performance has been highlighted by the skillful contributions of Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, who has been a cornerstone of the team's defensive strength.

At just 25 years old, Lunin has already appeared in 30 matches for Real Madrid this season across all competitions, including 12 clean sheets, and has conceded 28 goals. His impressive performances have contributed significantly to Real Madrid's defensive resilience and overall success in the Champions League.

As they prepare for the Champions League final scheduled for June 1st at Wembley Stadium in London, Real Madrid will face Borussia Dortmund, another formidable team that has demonstrated remarkable skill and tenacity throughout the tournament. The upcoming final is highly anticipated, promising to be a clash of titans between two of Europe's football powerhouses.

Real Madrid’s journey to the final highlights their tactical prowess and the strategic genius of Ancelotti, who has successfully harnessed the full potential of his team. The record-breaking run in this season's Champions League underscores their dominance in European football and their unwavering ambition to add yet another prestigious trophy to their already illustrious collection. As the final approaches, all eyes will be on Real Madrid to see if they can maintain their unbeaten streak and clinch the Champions League title.
