In 2017-2018, Real Madrid accomplished something no European professional football or basketball club had ever done before: win the UEFA Champions League and EuroLeague titles in the same season! Presented here is a token of that achievement, a classy replication set of the first place champion's golden medal (actual size: 60 mm & 100 g incl. ribbon) awarded to players on the soccer squad as well as miniature trophies presented to each winning team in soccer (two handles, 40 g) and basketball (taller, 36 g). The lovely trio is displayed beautifully in its original blue presentation box with the special milestones explained in detail in Spanish on the inner flip. Issued by Area VIP Corporate Hospitality, we presume this box set was intended only for Real Madrid sponsors, club partners or other important dignitaries involved with each sport organization.
The 2017–18 UEFA Champions League was the 63rd season of Europe's premier football club tournament, and the 26th campaign since it was renamed from the European Champion Clubs Cup to the UEFA Champions League in 1992. In the semifinal home and away rounds, Real Madrid got through Bayern Munich 4-3 on aggregate while Liverpool squeaked by Roma 7-6 in there two matches. In the Champion's League Final held in Kyiv, Ukraine, Real defeated defending champions Liverpool by a score of 3-1 to win a record-extending 13th title. Second half goals from Karim Benzema and two from Gareth Bale gave La Casa Blanca its third UCL title in a row and fourth in five seasons. Real's Cristiano Ronaldo led all players in scoring throughout the year-long tournament with 15 goals.
For Real Madrid's basketball team, the 2017–18 season was another banner year. In its 87th season in existence, Real won a record tenth EuroLeague title after defeating Fenerbahçe (Istanbul, Turkey) in the final. In the domestic Liga ACB, Madrid clinched the title after defeating Saski Baskonia. Real's star of the season was Slovenian teenager Luka Doncic, who claimed EuroLeague MVP, EuroLeague Final Four MVP and Liga ACB MVP before being drafted to the NBA.
English translation of Spanish message inside the presentation box:
Real Madrid has made history again during the 2017/18 season. For the first time, a club is European champion in soccer and basketball. The thirteenth European Cup in football and the tenth European Cup in basketball make us the champions of 23 European Cups.
We have been able to do something historic and almost unrepeatable: win 3 consecutive Champions Leagues in soccer and 4 in 5 seasons. This last season in which we began by winning the European Super Cup, the Spanish Super Cup and the Club World Cup.
In basketball, the tenth European Cup was accompanied by the League [title] and has started with another conquest this season: the Spanish Super Cup.
From Area VIP we want to thank you once again for your support as a client by giving you a replica of the medal that the Real Madrid players received after winning the Champions League in Kyiv, a replica of the thirteenth European Football Cup and another of the tenth European Basketball Cup.
