Real Madrid are the kings of the men's UEFA Champions League.
They have 14 European Cups in their rather sizeable cabinet. They have the most iconic branding in all of football. They fear no one, and nor should they.
Los Blancos were, however, humbled in the semi-finals of last season's competition and are out to avenge that miserable exit.
Here's why Madrid could feasibly become the champions of Europe once again.
It seemed a pretty safe bet that Madrid's €103m signing of Jude Bellingham would work out, but few would have predicted he would be an instant Ballon d'Or contender upon arrival.
The charismatic 20-year-old has taken Spain by storm, already registering 20 goals and 10 assists in 32 games so far this season.
He's also stepped up in huge moments, notably scoring a late match-winning brace in their 2-1 win at Barcelona early in the campaign, and now he has his sights narrowed on Champions League glory.
Though Madrid have been drawn on the supposed stronger side of the draw (I'm only saying supposed to spare the feelings of the other four teams, we know it is the stronger half), there are inherent chinks in the armour of each team remaining.
Manchester City — Madrid's quarter-final opponents — don't look quite as formidable or fluid as they did in their treble-winning season. Meanwhile, Arsenal lack European experience and just about stumbled past Porto in the last 16, and Bayern Munich are a complete shambles from top to bottom.
There's no reason Madrid should doubt their ability to at least reach another final.
In order to eliminate Madrid from the Champions League, you essentially have to cut their head off and make sure they are totally 100% dead (from a metaphorical standpoint, please don't actually do this).
