Real Madrid were 'a bit lucky' to win the Champions League last season, claims Manchester City CEO Ferran Soriano - who believes Carlo Ancelotti's men 'deserved to lose against PSG, Chelsea, Liverpool and us'.

Los Blancos secured their 14th title after seeing off Liverpool 1-0 at the Stade de France in May, thanks to Vinicius Jr's second half strike, and enjoyed a rollercoaster ride through the tournament after coming through some close knockout ties and pulling off three comeback wins in the last-16 and semi-finals.

Karim Benzema's incredible goalscoring form - with 15 strikes to his name - carried Madrid on their way to the trophy and rescued them from a number of close games, and Soriano says they can consider themselves fortunate to have won it.
