'Los Blancos' are dreaming of becoming the first side to win the Champions League three years in a row and with Manchester City and Barcelona, many people's two picks for the competition, now out there are few who would now not put Zinedine Zidane's side down as favourites.
Ahead of the return leg with Juventus, Real already have one foot in the semi-finals following their 3-0 victory in the first leg.
Should the Spanish side complete the job on home soil, they will reach the last four for the eighth season in a row. Since Jose Mourinho touched down in Chamartín, the club have not failed to reach the final four of what many consider to be the most difficult trophy to win in club football.
During that time, the club has of course claimed three Champions League titles. Mourinho reversed the trend that had seen the club fail to get past the rond of 16 in three successive years before his arrival to begin a streak that clubs across Europe will look at in envy.
Carlo Ancelotti continued on from the Portuguese's fine work, before Zinedine Zidane came in and swept the board in Europe.
History is against Juve going in to Wednesday night's game, with the Italians having never scored more than two goals at the Bernabeu. Though Miralem Pjanic is back for this one, something that will go some way to filling the void created by Paulo Dybala's suspension.
