'Real Madrid can win the Champions League' - Roberto Carlos backs Blancos three-peat

Zinedine Zidane's side may have failed to deliver in La Liga, but a former defender believes they will taste European glory for a third year in a row

Roberto Carlos is confident Real Madrid can win a third consecutive Champions League title despite their underwhelming performances this season.

Under the tutelage of Zinedine Zidane, Madrid became the first side to successfully defend the European crown in its current format in 2017.

Los Blancos also won La Liga last term, but domestic success this season has failed to materialise – Madrid are 15 points behind league leaders Barcelona and were beaten by Leganes in the Copa del Rey.
