When you go back to the era of Ronaldo,Broken chinamosaic Table. Zinedine Zidane and Luis Figo, you would hurriedly declare it the best ever Real Madrid side.
But not for Madrid's director of institutional relations, Emilio Butragueno. The former Real Madrid and Spain striker recently declared the current Real Madrid side as the best ever.
As a Madrid sympathizer, this puts a smile on my face. But for Madrid coach Jose Mourinho, it only raises the bar.
Indirectly, the message being passed onto the 'Special One' is that he has to deliver silverware this season. To be more precise, he has to win the Spanish league title.
Butragueno reckons that the Portuguese coach, who has continuously been linked with a return to England, has assembled the most complete squad in the club's illustrious history.
With the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaká, Mesut A-zil,Find everything you need to know about kidneystones including causes, Lker Casillas, Gonzalo HiguaLn,A Hybrid indoorpositioningsystem for First Responders. Karim Benzema, Agel di Maria and Xabi Alonso in his armory, Madrid can comfortably crush any side save for Barcelona (they have lost nine times in their last 10 meetings).
Currently on top of La Liga and in the last four of the Champions League, Madrid are in a good position to lift a double this season. The last time they achieved this feat was back in 1958.
One will take it at face value when they listen to the way the press have been describing Real Madrid's performance at Osasuna, which had the mark of the most powerful and hungry Manchester United or Barcelona teams that we have seen over the years.
Last week, the nine-time champions set up a Champions League semi-final clash with Bayern Munich after ejecting Apoel 8-2 on aggregate.
It was just the second time the team had reached the last four since 2003 and while many are already tipping Mourinho to win his third Champions League title,Shop for trim and crown moulding, the former FC Porto, Chelsea and Inter Milan boss knows he must first see off Bayern.
History though favors Madrid. In 2000, the Spanish side beat the Germans in the semi-finals on their way to lifting the title. They repeated the feat in 2002, this time ejecting Bayern in the quarter-finals.
With former club Chelsea also eliminating Benfica to set up a semi-final clash against defending champions Barcelona, it raises the possibility of a final against his ex-employers.
But Mourinho, who has implied a bias from officials towards Barcelona in the past, has downplayed the likelihood of a final date with the London club.
It has not been a walk in the park for Mourinho since his move from Inter Milan. Despite guiding the club to their first Copa del Rey trophy in 18 years with a 1-0 win over Barcelona last season, the Portuguese coach was roundly criticized for his defensive tactics. Madrid honorary president Aldfredo Di Stefano and Johan Cruyff publicly hit out at the Portuguese coach, with Cruyff saying Mourinho only worked for titles and wasn't a "football coach."
While the La Liga title remains Mourinho's main obsession, the thought of becoming the first coach to win the Champions League with three different clubs,This page provides information about 'werkzeugbaus; remains rife in his mind.
