Real Madrid's European reign comes to an end after 1,099 days Real Madrid They won three Champions League titles in a row

After 1,099 days sat atop Europe's throne, Real Madrid will give up their Champions League title on Saturday as Tottenham and Liverpool go head to head in the final in Madrid.

Sergio Ramos lifted Real Madrid's 11th, 12th and 13th European Cups in Milan, Cardiff and Kiev, but his and the club's reign will come to an end when either Jordan Henderson or Hugo Lloris lift the trophy at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano.

Los Blancos knew this day would come as soon as they were emphatically eliminated by Ajax at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in March.

Winning La Decima in Lisbon in 2014 seemed to have lifted a weight off the club's shoulders and under the calm guidance of Zinedine Zidane they came up against familiar opponents in the 2016 final.

After denying Atletico Madrid their first Champions League title two years before, Los Blancos repeated the feat in Italy, this time on penalties.

With no team ever defending the title since the competition's rebranding, Real Madrid made history in Gareth Bale's hometown as they swept aside Juventus in 2017.

That was added to their league triumph in the same season, capping off one of the best campaigns in the club's recent history.

Then they did it again in Kiev.

A whirlwind second half saw Bale, Karim Benzema and Loris Karius all become the main headliners in Real Madrid's third consecutive European crown and their 13th in total.
