“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,” CR7 said as quoted by MadridXtra.

Madrid's Champions League campaigns since 2002 were limited to the Round of 16 stages six times in a row from 2004/05 to 2009/10 followed by a three-peat of semifinal heartbreaks before their eventual success in 2014, per therealchamps.

Cristiano scored a record 17 Champions League goals during the 2013-14 season en route to the vaunted La Décima, Real Madrid's 10th Champions League crown.
