Real Madrid football club is the pride of the city and the whole of Spain. Maybe a Barcelona fan or a fellow Madrilenian who supports Atletico will disagree, but the facts are like that.
We can say that Real is more than that – Real Madrid is synonymous with football worldwide. Even someone from the USA or China, who does not follow football, must have heard of Real, knows what the crest and jerseys look like, and has heard of Galacticos, Cristiano Ronaldo, Raul, Di Stefano, and other things related to this club.
Only a few other football clubs have a such global popularity, for example, Manchester United, Liverpool, Barcelona, and Juventus. Among many other wins, here are some of the biggest wins in the history of this team.
