Club Favorit

Real Madrid Club de Fútbol (Spanish pronunciation: [reˈal maˈðɾið ˈkluβ ðe ˈfuðβol]; Royal Madrid Football Club), commonly known as Real Madrid, is a professional football club based in Madrid, Spain.
Founded in 1902 as Madrid Football Club, 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 85,454-capacity Santiago Bernabéu 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 world's richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €513 million, and the most valuable sports team, worth €3.3 billion.[6][7][8] It is one of three clubs to have never been relegated from the top flight of Spanish football, along with Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona. Real Madrid holds many long-standing rivalries, most notably El Clásico with FC Barcelona and El Derbi madrileño with Atlético Madrid.
The club established itself as a major force in both Spanish and European football during the 1950s. Domestically, Real Madrid has won a record 32 La Liga titles, 18 Copas del Rey, 9 Supercopas de España, 1 Copa Eva Duarte and 1 Copa de la Liga.[9] Internationally it has won a record nine European Cup/UEFA Champions League titles and a joint record three Intercontinental Cups, as well as two UEFA Cups, and one UEFA Super Cup.

Real Madrid History

2011-
The decade began with another trophy, which was won by beating the eternal rival in the Copa del Rey, who many had labelled as being the best in history. Mestalla was the place where, in extra time, the Whites secured their eighteenth Copa trophy, exactly 18 years later. During the 2011-12 season, the football team, which has marked the best Group Phase in the entire history of the European Cup, has shot up to the highest place in la Liga, winning its thirty-second championship with two days playing to go. Whilst the Basketball team performed just as it did last season, Mourinho's team won the Copa at Palau Sant Jordi de Barcelona 19 years later. The 2012-13 campaign begins as the last one ended; winning another title. The Whites were crowned champions of the Spanish Super Cup for the ninth time by defeating Barcelona in the second leg 2-1 to overhaul the 3-2 defeat at the Camp Nou.
