 Real Madrid Club de Fútbol also known as Real Madrid FC, Los Blancos, and
Los Merengues is Madrid’s
soccer team. This team has amazing history dating back to 1902. They also have
an amazing current status.
Professors and students of the Institución Libre de Enseñanza
introduced football to Madrid.
They then founded Football Club Sky in 1897 which played every Sunday Morning
in Moncloa. In the 1920’s Spain’s
king, King Alfonso XIII, granted the club the title Real (Royal), so the club
was now named Real Madrid.
Finally in 1929 the first Spanish Football League was founded. The Real
Madrid didn’t win the League title until the 1931-32 season because in the
1929-30 season they came just one point behind Barcelona, so they had to settle for runner-up.
Then in the next season Real Madrid won the title becoming the first to have
two championships.
In 1955 President Santiago Bernabéu Yeate met with Bedrignan and Gustav
Sebes and created what today
is known as the UEFA Champions League. Under Bernabéu guidance Real Madrid was established as a major force in both
Spanish and European soccer league. Between 1956 and 1960 Real Madrid won the
European Cup 5 times in a row, permanently awarding them the original cup and
the right to wear the UEFA badge of honor. The team went on to hit a couple of
rough spots but then recovered with Coach Fabio Capello who was fired just a
month after winning the La Liga title in 2007 for the first time in four
years. This team also set the UEFA Championship League record of having the
most wins of nine and semifinal appearances of 21.
Real Madrid current team has
a well diverse group of people. There are nine people from Spain, four from Argentina,
five for the Netherlands,
three from Brazil, one each from
Germany, Portugal, Italy Mali, and Poland.
According to a
study done at Harvard
University in 2007 Real
Madrid FC is the biggest and most popular soccer club in the world. They are also
the richest based on revenue. FIFA also awarded the team on December 23, 2000

named Rafael
Van der Vaart.
