'Gentle Generation' by Real Madrid

In the 50's of last century, Real Madrid once owned a golden generation, who had won five consecutive European Cups, from 1956 to 1960.

No one expected six years later, when Real Madrid re-enthroned again, in their squad is still a person of the "generation 5 star" it. This is Francisco Gento. With six Championships in C1, the Honorary President of Real Madrid was alone above all else.

But his monopoly position was seriously threatened. Actually it was threatened. Milan's Costacurta and Maldini have come close to finishing six in the championship (both have 5). However, when Costacurta and Maldini took the throne for the fifth time, they were all elderly. Besides, the term "threat" is only ... sporadic. Not like now. A Real Madrid team is "le le le" approached the throne of the legendary Spaniard.



If Real Madrid beat Liverpool, Nacho, Casemiro, Varane, Ramos, Kroos, Modric ..., in short there are ... 11 players, will add to their personal collection of Champions League fourth title. Most of them are young and can play for many years. The youngest is Varane. He is 25 years old now, is Gento's age when he won the fourth Champions League.

But the closest one to Gento is Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese star will get his fifth title if he wins in Kiev. At the age of 33, and with style demonstrated, CR7 can fully catch up with Gento in a short time. Of course, the conditions needed to beat Liverpool tonight were ...

Who could threaten Gento's position?

Of the players currently playing, more specifically playing for a European club, only Ronaldo, Messi and Pique can catch up to Gento soon, with each of the four trophies. Iniesta also had four trophies but came to Japan.
