Real Madrid Club de Ftbol (Spanish
pronunciation: [real mai klu e fuol]; Royal
Madrid Football Club), commonly known as Real
Madrid, or simply as Real, is a professional football
club based in Madrid, Spain.

Real Madrid

Founded in 1902 as Madrid Football Club, the team

has traditionally worn a white home kit since. The
word Real is Spanish for Royal and was bestowed to
the club by King Alfonso XIII in 1920 together with
the royal crown in the emblem. The team has played its
home matches in the 81,044-capacity Santiago
Bernabu Stadium in downtown Madrid since 1947.
Unlike most European football clubs, Real Madrid's
members (socios) have owned and operated the club
since its inception.
The club is the most valuable sports team in the world,
worth 2.5 billion ($3.4 billion) and also the world's
richest football club, with an annual revenue of
549.5 million.[6][7][8] The club is one of the most
widely supported teams in the world.[9] Real Madrid is
one of three founding members of the Primera Divisin
which have never been relegated from the top division,
along with Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona. The club
holds many long-standing rivalries, most notably El
Clsico with Barcelona and the El Derbi madrileo
with Atltico Madrid.
Real Madrid established itself as a major force in both
Spanish and European football during the 1950s. The
club won five consecutive European Cups, and reached
the final seven times. This success was replicated in the
league, where the club won five times in the space of
seven years. This team, which consisted of players
such as Di Stfano, Ferenc Pusks, Gento, Raymond
Kopa and Santamara, is considered by some in the
sport to be the greatest team of all time.[10][11][12][13]
In domestic football, the club has won a record 32 La
Liga titles, 19 Copa del Rey, 9 Supercopa de Espaa, 1
Copa Eva Duarte and 1 Copa de la Liga.[14] In
international football, the club has won a record 10
European Cup/UEFA Champions League titles and a
joint record 3 Intercontinental Cups, as well as 2 UEFA
Cups, 2 UEFA Super Cups and a FIFA Club World
Cup.

European Club of the 20th Century by the IFFHS on 11 May 2010. The club received the FIFA Centennial
Order of Merit in 2004. The club is ranked first in the latest IFFHS Club World Ranking, setting a new
ranking-points record.[15] The club also leads the current UEFA club rankings.[16]

History
Main article: History of Real Madrid C.F.

Early years (18971945)

Real Madrid's origins go back
to when football was
introduced to Madrid by the
academics and students of the
Institucin Libre de
Enseanza, which included
several Cambridge and
Oxford University graduates.
They founded Football Club
Sky in 1897, playing on
Real Madrid team in 1905
Sunday mornings at Moncloa.
It split into two clubs in 1900:
New Foot-Ball de Madrid and Madrid Football Club.[17] On 6 March
Julin Palacios, the first president of
1902, after a new Board presided by Juan Padrs had been elected,
the club in 19001902
Madrid Football Club was officially founded.[3] Three years after its
foundation, in 1905, Madrid FC won its first title after defeating
Athletic Bilbao in the Spanish Cup final. The club became one of the founding sides of the Royal Spanish
Football Federation on 4 January 1909, when club president Adolfo Melndez signed the foundation
agreement of the Spanish FA. After moving between grounds the team moved to the Campo de O'Donnell in
1912.[18] In 1920, the club's name was changed to Real Madrid after King Alfonso XIII granted the title of
Real (Royal) to the club.[19]
In 1929, the first Spanish football league was founded. Real Madrid led the first league season until the last
match, a loss to Athletic Bilbao, meant they finished runners-up to Barcelona.[20] Real Madrid won its first
League title in the 193132 season. Real won the League again the following year, becoming the first side to
have won the championship twice.[21]
On 14 April 1931, the arrival of the Second Spanish Republic caused the club to lose the title Real and went
back to being named Madrid Football Club. Football continued during the Second World War, and on 13
June 1943 Madrid beat Barcelona 111 in the second leg of a semi-final[22] of the Copa del Generalsimo,
the Copa del Rey having been renamed in honour of General Franco. It has been suggested that Barcelona
players were intimidated by police,[23] including by the director of state security who "allegedly told the
team that some of them were only playing because of the regime's generosity in permitting them to remain
in the country."[24] The Barcelona chairman, Enric Pieyro, was assaulted by Madrid fans.[25] However,
none of these allegations have been proven and FIFA and UEFA still consider the result as legitimate.
According to Spanish journalist and writer, Juan Carlos Pasamontes, Barcelona player Josep Valle denied
that the Spanish security forces came before the match.[26] Instead, at the end of the first half, Barcelona
coach Juan Jos Nogus and all of his players were angry with the hard-style of play Real Madrid was using
and with the aggressiveness of the home crowd.[26] When they refused to take the field, the Superior Chief

of Police of Madrid appeared, identified himself, and ordered the

team to take the field.[26]

Santiago Bernabu Yeste and European success

(194578)

Alfredo Di Stfano led the club to

win five European Cups
consecutively (currently the
Champions League)

Santiago Bernabu Yeste

became president of Real
Madrid in 1945.[27] Under his
presidency, the club, its
stadium Santiago Bernabu
and its training facilities
Ciudad Deportiva were
rebuilt after the Spanish Civil
War damages. Additionally,
during the 1950s former Real
Madrid Amateurs player
King Alfonso XIII allowed the club
Miguel Malbo founded Real
to use the title of Real (royal)
Madrid's youth academy, or
"cantera", known today as La
Fbrica. Beginning in 1953, he embarked upon a strategy of signing
world-class players from abroad, the most prominent of them being
Alfredo Di Stfano.[28]

In 1955, acting upon the idea

proposed by the French sports
journalist and editor of L'quipe
Gabriel Hanot, Bernabu, Bedrignan
and Gusztv Sebes created an exhibition tournament of invited teams from
around Europe that would eventually become what today is known as the
UEFA Champions League.[29] It was under Bernabu's guidance that Real
Madrid established itself as a major force in both Spanish and European
football. The club won the European Cup five times in a row between 1956
and 1960, which included the 73 Hampden Park final against Eintracht
Frankfurt in 1960.[28] After these five consecutive successes, Real was
permanently awarded the original cup and earning the right to wear the
UEFA badge of honour.[30]

Amancio Amaro, captain of

the Y-y

The club won the European Cup for a sixth time in 1966 defeating Partizan
Belgrade 21 in the final with a team composed entirely of same nationality
players, a first in the competition.[31] This team became known as the Y-y. The name "Ye-y" came from
the "Yeah, yeah, yeah" chorus in The Beatles' song "She Loves You" after four members of the team posed
for Diario Marca dressed in Beatles wigs. The Ye-y generation was also European Cup runner-up in 1962
and 1964.[31]
In the 1970s, Real Madrid won five league championships and three Spanish Cups.[32] The club played its
first UEFA Cup Winners' Cup final in 1971 and lost to English side Chelsea 21.[33] On 2 July 1978, club
president Santiago Bernabu died while the World Cup was being played in Argentina. The International
Federation of Association Football (FIFA) decreed three days of mourning to honour him during the
tournament.[34] The following year, the club organized the first edition of the Trofeo Santiago Bernabu in

the memory of its former president.

Quinta del Buitre and seventh European Cup (19802000)

By the early 1980s, Real Madrid had lost its grasp on the La Liga title until a new batch of home-grown
stars brought domestic success back to the club.[35] Spanish sport journalist Julio Csar Iglesias gave to this
generation the name La Quinta del Buitre ("Vulture's Cohort"), which was derived from the nickname given
to one of its members, Emilio Butragueo. The other four members were Manuel Sanchs, Martn Vzquez,
Mchel and Miguel Pardeza; all five footballers were graduates of Real Madrid's youth academy.[35] With La
Quinta del Buitre (reduced to four members when Pardeza left the club for Zaragoza in 1986) and notable
players like goalkeeper Francisco Buyo, right-back Miguel Porln Chendo and Mexican striker Hugo
Snchez, Real Madrid had one of the best teams in Spain and Europe during the second half of the 1980s,
winning two UEFA Cups, five Spanish championships in a row, one Spanish cup and three Spanish Super
Cups.[35] In the early 1990s, La Quinta del Buitre split up after Martn Vzquez, Emilio Butragueo and
Mchel left the club.
In 1996, President Lorenzo Sanz appointed Fabio Capello as coach. Although his tenure lasted only one
season, Real Madrid was proclaimed league champion and players like Roberto Carlos, Predrag Mijatovi,
Davor uker and Clarence Seedorf arrived at the club to strengthen a squad that already boasted the likes of
Ral, Fernando Hierro, Ivn Zamorano, and Fernando Redondo. As a result, Real Madrid (with the addition
of Fernando Morientes in 1997) finally ended its 32-year wait for its seventh European Cup: in 1998, under
manager Jupp Heynckes, they defeated Juventus 10 in the final with a goal from Predrag Mijatovi.[36]

Los Galcticos (20002006)

Main article: Galcticos
In July 2000, Florentino Prez was elected club president.[37] He vowed in his campaign to erase the club's
270 million debt and modernize the club's facilities. However, the primary electoral promise that propelled
Prez to victory was the signing of Lus Figo from arch-rivals Barcelona.[38] The following year, the club
got its training ground rezoned and used the money to begin assembling the famous Galcticos side
including players such as Zindine Zidane, Ronaldo, Lus Figo, Roberto Carlos, Ral, Fabio Cannavaro and
David Beckham. It is debatable whether the gamble paid off, as despite winning the UEFA Champions
League and an Intercontinental Cup in 2002, followed by the League in 2003, the club failed to win a major
trophy for the next three seasons.[39]
The few days after the capturing of the 2003 league title were surrounded with controversy. The first
controversial decision came when Prez sacked winning coach Vicente del Bosque.[40] Over a dozen players
left the club, including Madrid captain Fernando Hierro, while defensive midfielder Claude Makll
refused to take part in training in protest at being one of the lowest-paid players at the club and subsequently
moved to Chelsea.[41] "That's a lot [of players leaving] when the normal rule is: never change a winning
team", stated Zidane.[42] Real Madrid, with newly appointed coach Carlos Queiroz, started their domestic
league slowly after a hard win over Real Betis.[42]
The 200506 season began with the promise of several new signings: Julio Baptista (24 million), Robinho
(30 million) and Sergio Ramos (27 million).[43] However, Real Madrid suffered from some poor results,
including a 03 loss at the hands of Barcelona in the Santiago Bernabu in November 2005.[44] Madrid's
coach Wanderley Luxemburgo was sacked the following month and his replacement was Juan Ramn Lpez
Caro.[45] A brief return to form came to an abrupt halt after losing the first leg of the Copa del Rey
quarterfinal, 61 to Real Zaragoza.[46] Shortly after, Real Madrid were eliminated from the Champions

League for a fourth successive year, this time at the hands of Arsenal. On 27
February 2006, Florentino Prez resigned.[47]

New president Ramn Caldern (20062009)

Ramn Caldern was elected as club
president on 2 July 2006 and
subsequently appointed Fabio
Capello as the new coach and Predrag
Mijatovi as the new sporting
director. Real Madrid won the La
Liga title in 2007 for the first time in
four years but Capello was
sacked.[48] On 9 June 2007, Real
Real Madrid's players celebrate their
played against Zaragoza at La
2008 Supercopa de Espaa title win
Romareda. Zaragoza led Real 21
against Valencia
near the end of the match while
Barcelona were also winning against
Espanyol 21. A late Ruud van Nistelrooy equalizer followed by a
last-minute Ral Tamudo goal sprang Real Madrid's title hopes back into
their favour.
Beckham (23) and Zidane
(5) were considered
"Galcticos"

The title was won on 17 June, Real faced Mallorca at the Bernabu, while
Barcelona and Sevilla, the other title challengers, faced Gimnstic de
Tarragona and Villarreal respectively. At half time Real were 01 down,
while Barcelona had surged ahead into a 03 lead in Tarragona; however,
three goals in the last half-an-hour secured Real Madrid a 31 win and their first league title since 2003.[49]
The first goal came from Reyes who scored after a good work from Higuan. An own goal followed by
another goal from Reyes allowed Real to begin celebrating the title.[49] Thousands of Real Madrid fans
began going to Plaza de Cibeles to celebrate the title.[49]

Second Prez term and the Mourinho era (200913)

On 1 June 2009, Florentino Prez regained Real Madrid's
presidency.[50] Prez continued with the Galcticos policy pursued in
his first term, buying Kak from Milan for a record-breaking sum of
56 million,[51] and then breaking the record again by purchasing
Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United for 80 million.[52]

Cristiano Ronaldo, the first player

ever to score against every team in a
single season in La Liga

Jos Mourinho took over as manager in May 2010.[53][54] In April

2011, a strange occurrence happened when, for the first time ever,
four Clsicos were to be played in a span of eighteen days. The first
fixture was for the Liga campaign on 17 April (which ended 11
with penalty goals for both sides), the Copa del Rey final (which
ended 10 to Madrid), and the controversial two-legged Champions
League semifinal on 27 April and 2 May (31 loss on aggregate) to
Barcelona.[55]
In the 201112 La Liga season, Real Madrid won the league, a
record 32nd time in La Liga history and finished the season with a
number of records including 100 points in a single season, a record

04/04/2016 08:39

Real Madrid C.F.

6 of 27

zim://A/Real_Madrid_C.F..html

121 goals scored & goal difference of +89, and a record 16 away wins and 32 overall wins.[56] In the same
season, Cristiano Ronaldo become the fastest player to reach 100 goals in Spanish league history. In
reaching 101 goals in 92 games, Ronaldo surpassed Real Madrid legend Ferenc Pusks, who scored 100
goals in 105 games. Ronaldo set a new club mark for individual goals scored in one year (60), and became
the first player ever to score against all 19 opposition teams in a single season.[57][58]
Real Madrid began the 201213 season by winning the Supercopa de Espaa, defeating Barcelona on away
goals, but finished as second in the league competition. A major transfer of the season was signing from
Tottenham Hotspur of Luka Modri, for a fee in the region of 33 million. In the Champions League, they
were drawn in the "group of death" with Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City and Ajax, finishing second
with ten points behind Dortmund. In the 16 round they defeated Manchester United, Galatasaray in the
quarter finals, and reached their third straight semifinal finish in the Champions League, when they were
again stopped by Dortmund. After a disappointing extra time loss to Atltico Madrid in the 2013 Copa del
Rey final (which broke a 14-year skid for Atleti), Florentino Perez announced the departure of Mourinho at
the end of the season by "mutual agreement".[59][60] Mourinho returned to the English Premier League with
Chelsea, a team he managed from 2004 to 2007.

The Ancelotti era and La Dcima (2013present)

On 25 June 2013, Carlo Ancelotti succeeded Mourinho to become
the manager of Real Madrid on a three-year deal.[5] A day later, he
was introduced at his first press conference for Madrid where it was
announced that both Zinedine Zidane and Paul Clement will be his
assistants.[61] On 1 September 2013, the long-awaited transfer from
Spurs of Gareth Bale was announced. The transfer of the Welshman
was reportedly the new world record signing, with the transfer price
expected to be around 100 million.[62] In Ancelotti's first season at
the club, Real Madrid won the Copa del Rey, with Bale scoring the
winner in the final against Barcelona.[63] On 24 May, Real Madrid
defeated city rivals Atltico Madrid in the 2014 UEFA Champions
League Final, winning their first European title since 2002,[64] and
they became the first team to win ten European Cups, an
achievement known as "La Dcima".[65]
After winning the 2014 UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid
signed goalkeeper Keylor Navas, midfielder Toni Kroos and
Real Madrid won a record tenth
attacking midfielder James Rodrguez during the summer of
European Cup after victory in the
2014.[66] The club won the 2014 UEFA Super Cup against Sevilla
2014 UEFA Champions League
with two goals by Cristiano Ronaldo, the club's 79th official
Final, an achievement known as La
[67]
Dcima
trophy.
During the last week of the transfer week, Real Madrid
sold Xabi Alonso to FC Bayern Munich and ngel Di Mara
completed his move to Manchester United F.C. for a British record fee of 75m (59.7m), two key players
in last season's Champions League success. This decision from the club was surrounded by controversy with
Ronaldo stating "If I was in charge, maybe I would have done things differently", while Ancelotti admitted
"We must start again from zero."[68][69]
After a slow start to the 20142015 La Liga season, which included defeats to Atltico Madrid and Real
Sociedad, Real Madrid went on a record breaking winning streak, which included wins against FC
Barcelona and Liverpool F.C., surpassing the previous Spanish record of 18 successive wins set by Frank
Rijkaard's FC Barceona in the 20052006 season.[70] In December 2014, the club extended their winning

streak to 22 games with a 20 win over San Lorenzo in the 2014 FIFA Club World Cup Final, thus ending
the year with 4 trophies.[71] Their 22-game winning streak ended in their opening game of 2015 with a loss
to Valencia, leaving the club two short of equalling the world record of 24 consecutive wins.[72]

Crest and colours

Emblem evolution

1902

1931

The first crest had a simple design consisting of a decorative interlacing of the three initials of the club,
"MCF" for Madrid Club de Ftbol, in dark blue on a white shirt. The first change in the crest occurred in
1908 when the letters adopted a more streamlined form and appeared inside a circle.[73] The next change in
the configuration of the crest did not occur until the presidency of Pedro Parages in 1920. At that time, King
Alfonso XIII granted the club his royal patronage which came in the form of the title "Real Madrid",
meaning "Royal".[74] Thus, Alfonso's crown was added to the crest and the club styled itself Real Madrid
Club de Ftbol.[73]
With the dissolution of the monarchy in 1931, all the royal symbols (the crown on the crest and the title of
Real) were eliminated. The crown was replaced by the dark mulberry band of the Region of Castile.[21] In
1941, two years after the end of the Civil War, the crest's "Real Corona", or "Royal Crown", was restored
while the mulberry stripe of Castile was retained as well.[27] In addition, the whole crest was made full
color, with gold being the most prominent, and the club was again called Real Madrid Club de Ftbol.[73]
The most recent modification to the crest occurred in 2001 when the club wanted to better situate itself for
the 21st century and further standardize its crest. One of the modifications made was changing the mulberry
stripe to a more bluish shade.[73]
Real Madrid's traditional home colours are all white, although before its foundation
in the club first game against themselves they adopted a blue and a red oblique stripe
on the shirt to differentiate the two teams (the club crest design has a purple stripe
which isn't associated to this. It was incorporated the year they lost the royal crown,
as it the traditional region of Castile colour); but unlike today, black socks were
worn. Lastly, the black socks will be replaced by dark blue ones.[20][75] Real Madrid
has maintained the white shirt for its home kit throughout the history of the club.
There was however one season that the shirt and shorts were not both white. It was
Real Madrid's first
an initiative undertaken by Escobal and Quesada in 1925, the two were traveling
kit
through England when they noticed the kit worn by London-based team Corinthian
F.C., one of the most famous teams at the time known for its elegance and
sportsmanship. It was decided that Real Madrid would wear black shorts in an attempt to look like the
English team but the initiative lasted only one year. After being eliminated from the cup by Barcelona with a

Real Madrid C.F.

zim://A/Real_Madrid_C.F..html

15 defeat in Madrid and a 20 defeat in Catalonia, President Parages decided to return to an all-white kit
claiming that the other brought bad luck. Years later, Leeds United switched their blue shirt for a white one
after marveling at Real Madrid's 73 Victory against Eintracht Frankfurt in Glasgow's Hampden Park.[76]
By the early 1940s the manager changed the kit again by adding buttons to the shirt and the club's crest on
the left breast (which have remained ever since). On 23 November 1947, in a game against Atltico Madrid
at the Metropolitano Stadium, Real Madrid became the first Spanish team to wear numbered shirts.[27]
Real's traditional away colours are all blue or all purple. Since the advent of the replica kit market, the club
has also released various other one colour designs, including red, green, orange and black. The club's kit is
currently manufactured by Adidas whose contract extends from 1998.[77][78] Real Madrid's first shirt
sponsor, Zanussi, agreed for the 198283, 198384 and 198485 seasons. Following that, the club was
sponsored by Parmalat and Otaysa before a long-term deal was signed with Teka in 1992.[79][80] In 2001,
Real Madrid ended their contract with Teka and for one season used the Realmadrid.com logo to promote
the club's website. Then, in 2002, a deal was signed with Siemens Mobile and in 2006, the BenQ Siemens
logo appeared on the club's shirt.[81] Real Madrid's shirt sponsor from 2007 until 2013 was bwin.com
following the economic problems of BenQ Siemens.[82][83] It is currently Fly Emirates.

Grounds
Main articles: Estadio Chamartn, Santiago Bernabu Stadium and Alfredo Di Stfano Stadium
After moving between grounds the team moved to the Campo de O'Donnell in 1912, which remained its
home ground for eleven years.[18] After this period, the club moved for one year to the Campo de Ciudad
Lineal, a small ground with a capacity of 8,000 spectators. After that, Real Madrid moved its home matches

to Estadio Chamartn which was inaugurated on 17 May

1923 with a match against Newcastle United.[85] In this
stadium, which hosted 22,500 spectators, Real Madrid
celebrated its first Spanish league title.[20] After some
successes, the 1943 elected president Santiago Bernabu
decided that the Estadio Chamartn was not big enough
for the ambitions of the club. A new stadium was built
and was inaugurated on 14 December 1947.[27][86] This
was the Santiago Bernabu Stadium as it is known today,
although it did not acquire this name until 1955.[28] The
first match held on Bernabu was played between Real
Madrid and the Portuguese club Belenenses and won by
The Whites with 31, the first goal being scored by
Sabino Barinaga.[27]

number of reductions due to modernizations (the last
Architect Manuel Muoz Monasterio, Luis
standing places went away in 199899 in response to
Alemany Soler, Antonio Lamela
UEFA regulations which forbids standing at matches in
the UEFA competition), countered to some extent by
expansions.[87] The last change was an increase of about five thousand to a capacity of 85,454, effected in
2011. A plan to add a retractable roof has been announced.[86] Real Madrid has the fourth highest of the
average attendances of European football clubs only behind Borussia Dortmund, FC Barcelona, and
Manchester United.[88][89][90][91]
The Bernabu has hosted the 1964 European Championship final, the 1982 FIFA World Cup final, the 1957,
1969 and 1980 European Cup finals and the 2010 Champions League Final.[92] The stadium has its own
Madrid Metro station along the 10 line called Santiago Bernabu.[93] On 14 November 2007, the Bernabu
has been upgraded to Elite Football Stadium status by UEFA.[94]
On 9 May 2006, the Alfredo Di Stfano Stadium was inaugurated at the City of Madrid where Real Madrid
usually trains. The inaugural match was played between Real Madrid and Stade Reims, a rematch of the
1956 European Cup final. Real Madrid won the match 61 with goals from Sergio Ramos, Cassano (2),
Soldado (2), and Jurado. The venue is now part of the Ciudad Real Madrid, the club's new training facilities
located outside Madrid in Valdebebas. The stadium holds 5,000 people and is Real Madrid Castilla's home
ground. It is named after former Real footballer Alfredo Di Stfano.[95]

Ral in 2005. The fastest goal

Brazilian Ronaldo on 3 December 2003 during a league match
against Atltico Madrid.[99]
Officially, the highest home attendance figure for a Real Madrid
Gareth Bale's transfer to Real Madrid
match is 83,329, which was for a football cup competition, Copa del
in 2013 was reportedly for a world
Rey, in 2006. The current legal capacity of Estadio Santiago
record 100 million
Bernabu is 80,354.[100] The club's average attendance in 200708
season was 76,234, the highest in European Leagues.[101] Real has
also set records in Spanish football, most notably the most domestic titles (32 as of 201213) and the most
seasons won in a row (5, during 196065 and 198590).[1] With 121 matches (from 17 February 1957 to 7
March 1965), the club holds the record for longest unbeaten run at home in La Liga.[102]
The club also hold the record for winning the European Cup/UEFA Champions League ten times[103] and
for the most semi-final appearances (25). Ral Gonzlez is as of February 2015 the third highest scorer in
the UEFA Champions League, with 71 goals in total, 66 while playing for Real Madrid. The team has the
record number of consecutive participations in the European Cup (before it became the Champions League)
with 15, from 195556 to 196970.[104] Among the club's on-field records is a 22-game winning streak in
all competitions during the 2014-2015 season, a Spanish record.[105] The same season the team tied the
win-streak for games in the UEFA Champions League, with ten.[106]
In June 2009, the club broke its own record for the highest transfer fee ever paid in the history of football by
agreeing to pay Manchester United 96 million (US$131.5 million, 80 million) for the services of Cristiano
Ronaldo.[107][108] The fee of 76 million (over $100 million, 45.8 million) for Zinedine Zidane's transfer
from Juventus to Real Madrid in 2001 was the previous highest transfer fee ever paid. This record had been
broken previously in June 2009, for a few days, when Real Madrid agreed to buy Kak from A.C. Milan.
The transfer of Tottenham Hotspur's Gareth Bale, in 2013, was reportedly the new world record signing,
with the transfer price expected to be around 100 million.[62] The club's sale record came on 26 August
2014, when Manchester United signed ngel Di Mara for 75 million.[109]

Support
During most home matches the majority of the seats in the stadium are occupied by season ticket holders, of
which there are average of 68,670.[1] To become a season ticket holder one must first be a socio, or club

member. In addition to members, the club has more than 1,800 peas (official, club-affiliated supporters'
groups) in Spain and around the world. Real Madrid has the second highest average all-time attendance in
Spanish football and regularly attracts over 74,000 fans to Santiago Bernabu; it was the second
best-supported La Liga team in the 200405 season, with an average gate of 71,900.[110] Real Madrid is one
of the best supported teams globally, and has the second largest social media following in the world among
all sports teams, after FC Barcelona, with over 75 million Facebook fans by October 2014.[111][112]
Real Madrid's hardcore supporters are the so-called Ultras Sur supporters, or simply Ultras. They are known
for their extreme right-wing politics, akin to FC Barcelona's hardcore supporters group Boixos Nois. The
Ultras Surs have developed an alliance with other right wing groups, most notably S.S. Lazio Irriducibili
fans, and have also developed an alliance with left-wing groups. On several occasions they have racially
abused opposing players, and have been investigated by UEFA for doing so.[113][114] Florentino Perez took
it upon himself to ban the Ultras from the Bernabu, and assign their seats to the general public. This
decision was controversial with some of the Bernabu faithful as the lively atmosphere of games would
suffer as a result.[115][116] The Ultras have since held protests outside the Bernabu and have demanded to
be reinstated, and to be allowed to enter the grounds.[117]

Rivalries
El Clsico
Main article: El Clsico
There is often a fierce rivalry between the two strongest teams in a national
league, and this is particularly the case in La Liga, where the game between
Real Madrid and Barcelona is known as 'The Classic' (El Clsico). From the
start of national competitions the clubs were seen as representatives of two
rival regions in Spain: Catalonia and Castile, as well as of the two cities. The
rivalry reflects what many regard as the political and cultural tensions felt
between Catalans and the Castilians, seen by one author as a re-enactment of
the Spanish Civil War.[118] Over the years, the record from Real Madrid and
Barcelona is 81 victories for Madrid, 76 victories for Barcelona, and 39
draws.[119]
During the dictatorships of Primo de Rivera and especially of Francisco
Barcelona players formed a
Franco (19391975), all regional cultures were suppressed. All of the
guard of honour for Real
languages spoken in Spanish territory, except Spanish (Castilian) itself, were
Madrid as champions of the
officially banned.[120][121] Symbolising the Catalan people's desire for
league.
freedom, Barcelona became 'More than a club' (Ms que un club) for the
Catalans. According to Manuel Vzquez Montalbn, the best way for the
Catalans to demonstrate their identity was by joining Barcelona. It was less risky than joining a clandestine
anti-Franco movement, and allowed them to express their dissidence.[122] During Franco's regime, however,
the blaugrana team was granted profit due to its good relationship with the dictator at management level,
even giving two awards to him.[123]
On the other hand, Real Madrid was widely seen as the embodiment of the sovereign oppressive centralism
and the fascist regime at management level and beyond Santiago Bernabu, the former club president for
whom Real Madrid's stadium is named, fought on the Nationalist side during the Spanish Civil War.[124][125]
However, during the war, members of both clubs such as Josep Sunyol and Rafael Snchez Guerra suffered
at the hands of Franco supporters.

During the 1950s the rivalry was exacerbated further when there was a controversy surrounding the transfer
of Alfredo di Stfano, who finally played for Real Madrid and was key to their subsequent success.[126] The
1960s saw the rivalry reach the European stage when they met twice in a controversial knock-out round of
the European Cup, with Madrid receiving unfavourable treatment from the referee.[127][128] In 2002, the
European encounter between the clubs was dubbed the "Match of The Century" by Spanish media, and
Madrid's win was watched by more than 500 million people.[129]

El Derbi madrileo
The club's nearest neighbour is Atltico Madrid, a rivalry being
shared between fans of both football teams. Although Atltico was
originally founded by three Basque students in 1903, it was joined in
1904 by dissident members of Madrid FC. Tensions escalated further
after Atltico were merged with the football team of the Spanish
airforce (and thus renamed Atltico Aviacin), and in the 1940s
Atltico was perceived as the preferred team of Franco's regime,
before he revelled in Real's European success in the 1950s.[130][131]
Furthermore, Real supporters initially came from the middle and
upper classes while the Atltico supporters were drawn from the
working class. Today these distinctions are largely blurred. They met
for the first time on 21 February 1929 in matchday three of the first
League Championship at the former Chamartn. It was the first
official derby of the new tournament, and Real won 21.[20]

Real Madrid supporters during the

2006 El Derbi madrileo match held
at Santiago Bernabu.

The rivalry first gained international attention in 1959 during the European Cup when the two clubs met in
the semi-final. Real won the first leg 21 at the Bernabu while Atltico won 10 at the Metropolitano. The
tie went to a replay which Real won 21. Atltico, however, gained some revenge when, led by former Real
Madrid coach Jos Villalonga, it defeated its city rivals in two successive Copa del Generalsimo finals in
1960 and 1961.[132]
Between 1961 and 1989, when Real dominated La Liga, only Atltico offered it any serious challenge,
winning Liga titles in 1966, 1970, 1973 and 1977. In 1965, Atltico became the first team to beat Real at the
Bernabu in eight years. Real Madrid's record against Atltico in more recent times is very favorable.[133] A
high point coming in the 200203 season, when Real clinched the La Liga title after a 04 victory at
Atltico at the Vicente Caldern Stadium. Atltico Madrid's first win over city rivals since 1999 came with
Copa del Rey win in May 2013. In 201314, Real and Atltico were finalists of UEFA Champions League,
the first final which hosted 2 clubs from same city. Real Madrid triumphed with 41 in extra time.[134] On 7
Feb 2015, Real suffered their first defeat in 14 years at the Vicente Caldern, a 4-0 loss.[135]

European rivalry
Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are two of the most successful clubs in the UEFA Champions
League/European Cup competition, Real winning 10 times and Bayern winning 5 times. Real Madrid versus
Bayern is the match that has historically been played most often in the Champions League with 14 matches
and the European Cup with 19 matches. Real's biggest loss at home in the Champions League came at the
hands of Bayern on 29 February 2000: 24.[136] Real Madrid supporters often refer to Bayern as the "Bestia
negra" ("Black Beast"). The two teams met in the 201112 Champions League semi-finals which resulted in
33 on aggregate, forcing extra time and penalties. Bayern won 31 on penalties to reach their first ever
home Champions League final. They then again met in 201314 UEFA Champions League semi-finals, a
rematch of the 2012 semi-final, with Real Madrid winning 50 on aggregate.[137]

Finances and ownership

It was under Florentino Prez's first presidency (20002006) that Real Madrid started its ambition of
becoming the world's richest professional football club.[138] The club ceded part of its training grounds to
the city of Madrid in 2001, and sold the rest to four corporations: Repsol YPF, Mutua Automovilstica de
Madrid, Sacyr Vallehermoso and OHL. The sale eradicated the club's debts, paving the way for it to buy the
world's most expensive players such as Zindine Zidane, Lus Figo, Ronaldo and David Beckham. The city
had previously rezoned the training grounds for development, a move which in turn increased their value,
and then bought the site.[39] The European Commission started an investigation into whether the city
overpaid for the property, to be considered a form of state subsidy.[139]
The sale of the training ground for office buildings cleared Real Madrid's debts of 270 million and enabled
the club to embark upon an unprecedented spending spree which brought big-name players to the club. In
addition, profit from the sale was spent on a state-of-the-art training complex on the city's outskirts.[140]
Although Prez's policy resulted in increased financial success from the exploitation of the club's high
marketing potential around the world, especially in Asia, it came under increasing criticism for being too
focused on marketing the Real Madrid brand, and not enough on the performances of the team.[42]
By September 2007, Real Madrid was considered the most valuable football brand in Europe by BBDO. In
2008, it was ranked the second most valuable club in football, with a value of 951 million (640 million /
$1.285 billion),[141] only beaten by Manchester United, which was valued at 1.333 billion (900
million).[142] In 2010, Real Madrid had the highest turnover in football worldwide.[143] In September 2009,
Real Madrid's management announced plans to open its own dedicated theme park by 2013.[144]
A study at Harvard University concluded that Real Madrid "is one of the 20 most important brand names
and the only one in which its executives, the players, are well-known. We have some spectacular figures in
regard to worldwide support of the club. There are an estimated 287 million people worldwide who follow
Real Madrid."[145] In 2010, Forbes evaluated Real Madrid's worth to be around 992 million (US$1.323
billion), ranking them second after Manchester United, based on figures from the 200809 season.[146][147]
According to Deloitte, Real Madrid had a recorded revenue of 401 million in the same period, ranking
first.[148]
Along with FC Barcelona, Athletic Bilbao, and Osasuna, Real Madrid is organised as a registered
association. This means that Real Madrid is owned by its supporters who elect the club president. The club
president cannot invest his own money into the club[149] it can only spend what it earns, this is mainly
derived through merchandise sales, television rights and ticket sales. Unlike a limited company, it is not
possible to purchase shares in the club, but only membership.[150] The members of Real Madrid, called
socios, form an assembly of delegates which is the highest governing body of the club.[151] As of 2010 the
club has 60,000 socios.[152] At the end of the 200910 season, the club board of directors of the club stated
that Real Madrid had a net debt of 244.6 million, 82.1 million lower than the previous fiscal year. Real
Madrid announced that it had a net debt of 170 million after the 201011 season. From 2007 to 2011 the
club made a net profit of 190 million.[153][154]
During the 200910 season Real Madrid made 150 million through ticket sales, which was the highest in
top-flight football.[153] The club has the highest number of shirt sales a season, around 1.5 million.[153]
For the 201011 season its wage bill totalled 169 million, which was second highest in Europe behind FC
Barcelona.[155] However its wage bill to turnover ratio was the best in Europe at 43%, ahead of Manchester
United and Arsenal at 46% and 50% respectively. In 2013, Forbes listed the club as the world's most

valuable sports team, worth $3.3 billion.[8]

Popular culture
Real Madrid was the featured club in the second edition of the Goal! football movie trilogy, Goal! 2: Living
the Dream... (2007). The film follows former Newcastle United star Santiago Muez as he is first scouted,
and then signed by Real Madrid for the 200506 season. The film's creators wanted to put emphasis on the
changes in Muez's life after his move to Madrid. Production was done with the full support of UEFA,
allowing the film crew to use many real life players in cameo roles. Real Madrid squad members featured in
the film included Iker Casillas, Zinedine Zidane, David Beckham, Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Ral, Sergio
Ramos, Robinho, Thomas Gravesen, Michael Owen, Mchel Salgado, Jlio Baptista, Steve McManaman,
Jonathan Woodgate, and Ivn Helguera. Non-Real Madrid players to make cameo appearances included
Ronaldinho, Thierry Henry, Lionel Messi, Samuel Eto'o, Andrs Iniesta, Pablo Aimar, Fredrik Ljungberg,
Cesc Fbregas, Santiago Caizares and others. In the film, both Florentino Prez and Alfredo Di Stfano
presented the fictional player Muez to the club after his signing.[156]
Real, The Movie is a 2005 part feature, part documentary film that showcases the world-wide passion for
Real Madrid C.F. Produced by the club and directed by Borja Manso, it follows five sub-stories of fans from
around the world and their love for Real Madrid. Along with the fictional portion of the film, it also contains
real footage of the squad, during training at Ciudad Real Madrid, matches, and interviews. Although the film
mentions all of the squad, it mainly focuses on galcticos such as David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane, Ral,
Lus Figo, Ronaldo, Iker Casillas, and Roberto Carlos, among others. The film was originally produced in
Spanish, but has been dubbed for their world-wide fanbase.
The book White Storm: 100 years of Real Madrid by Phil Ball was the first English-language history of Real
Madrid. Published in 2002, it talks about the most successful moments of the club during its first centenary,
having been translated into various languages.
In late 2011, Real Madrid released a digital music album, entitled Legends, and a remix of the club's anthem,
"Himno del Real Madrid", was released as the first single from the album.[157]

Real Madrid TV
Real Madrid TV is an encrypted digital television channel, operated by Real Madrid and specialising in the
club. The channel is available in Spanish and English. It is located at Ciudad Real Madrid in Valdebebas
(Madrid), Real Madrid's training centre.

Honours
As of 24 May 2014, Real Madrid have won a record 32 La Liga, a record 10 European Cup/UEFA
Champions League, and a shared record 3 Intercontinental Cup trophies. The club was awarded with the
recognition of "FIFA Club of the 20th Century" on 23 December 2000,[158] and named "Best European Club
of the 20th Century" by the IFFHS in London on 11 May 2010.[159][160] It also received the FIFA Order of
Merit in 2004. Added to this, Real is allowed to wear a multiplewinner badge on their shirt during UEFA
Champions League matches as they have won more than five European Cups.[30]
