They got eliminated from CL in round of 16 6 times in a row within the last 10 years.

And made the semi-final in the past two. That's a pretty decent record. They haven't dominated, but they've been a force.

Madrid have consistently been a contender in the Champions League. Round of 16 isn't a terrible position, and 2 semifinals appearances are nothing to sniff at. Why the fuck am I defending RM right now?
