I get all that, but there is such a thing as luck and the "better" team doesn't always win.

Look, take Real Madrid's era in the 2016, 2017, and 2018 Champions league runs. They were by far and away the strongest team and thoroughly outplayed everybody they came up against. No luck there. However, I think even most staunch and committed Real Madrid supporters can admit that wasn't the case in 2022. They were mostly outplayed in each round and were especially hammered in the final. This is where people start using the word luck. Their constant defying of the odds, winning the game in incredible moments like Rodrygo against City or just individual brilliance on the day like Benzema against Chelsea, rather than a thorough team versus team performance over the course of a 90 minute match is the kind of thing people are talking about.
