Real Madrid managed to lift their 12th Champions League title last season and became the first team to retain the elite trophy, winning it for the second time in two years.
They also managed to lift the La Liga title for the first time in three years and are looking to make some serious strides and improve on their results from the previous season, if that is even possible.
However, they do have a chance to do so, as the Spanish giants are now going to participate in six different competitions next season, giving them a chance to win six trophies in one year.
The Sextet, as it is called, is something Real Madrid have never had a chance to win and reports today claim that Zinedine Zidane is making plans to create history in this form next season.

Los Blancos won the four of the five trophies they could have in the previous season, missing out on the Copa del Rey but the UCL and league title will now give them a chance to go one better and win all six next season.
The concept of a Sextet
Not many teams in Europe can even dream of playing in six different competitions in a single season, leave along winning them but if any club can, Real Madrid in its current form can.
The concept was first established in 2009 when now Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola managed to win almost every possible trophy to set up a season with a chance to win the Sextet.
But unsurprisingly, they were halted in the domestic arena by Real Madrid all those years ago.
However, Zinedine Zidane now wants to do what Barcelona failed to at that time and is reportedly prepping up his team with regards.

According to reports from Spanish news outfit Marca, the Real Madrid player seemed determined reconvening for the pre-season training ahead of Tuesday’s flight out to California for a camp at UCLA’s world-class facilities, strengthened by their star players remaining at the club and injury free, adding to some youth that could shine under Zidane next season.
It is reported that Zidane does not want to take the approach that Pep took back in 2009 and that he wants to have a squad that he can rotate freely and get the best out of next season.
