Cristiano Ronaldo names his favourite Real Madrid win
When it comes to serial winners, there have been very few greater in the history of the game than Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese icon has won everywhere that he has been. Yet, there is very little doubt that his greatest successes came with Real Madrid. It was during his time at Santiago Bernabeu that he went from one of the best in the world to one of the best of all-time.
Over his nine seasons in the Royal White jersey of Real Madrid, Ronaldo won four Champions League titles, three FIFA Club World Cups, two La Liga crowns, two Copa del Rey titles, two Spanish Super Cups and two UEFA Super Cups. Of course, there was a galore of individual awards along the way as well, including winning the Ballon d’Or on four occasions.
Thus, one would think that it would be very difficult for someone like Ronaldo to pick a favourite victory in the Real Madrid shirt. And yet, that does not seem to be the case.
It looks like Los Blancos’ La Decima win in 2014 stands above the rest in the eyes of Ronaldo. As reported by Tribuna, the Portuguese legend told LiveScore:
"“At Real Madrid, they always think about the Champions League. We felt year after year, the pressure is getting higher and higher every time, but La Decima was the moment we won what we wanted. The most special win.“La Decima with Real Madrid is a moment that will be engraved in my memory forever, I will never forget. When you sign for Real Madrid you feel that winning the Champions League is a kind of obsession, everyone there was obsessed with winning the 10th.”"

It was certainly a magical night for Real Madrid, winning La Decima, and against city rivals Atletico Madrid at that too.
As unbelievable as it sounds, Real Madrid fans have somewhat become used to winning the Champions League over the past decade or so. That was not always the case though.
In fact, Los Blancos had gone through a rough patch in Europe and had not won the cup with the big ears for more than a decade, before Carlo Ancelotti’s side delivered the goods.
The drama surrounding the match made it even more special as well, with Sergio Ramos cropping up with that famous equaliser in injury time, when all hope seemed lost.
