Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos feels they've won back the world's respect in 2014.
Real capped off the year with the Club World Cup triumph in Morocco this week.
Ramos remarked: "The team has recovered the spot that it had lost. That respect that everyone had for Real Madrid is there at every ground.
"La Décima was a unique moment. It's a source of pride to have gone down in Madrid's history with a goal that came when there was very little time left. Bringing that source of joy to madridistas is one of the best moments in my life. If we continue in this vein, the team is a contender to have a great year."
