Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, commonly known as Real Madrid, is a football club based in Madrid, Spain.


Real Madrid History


Real Madrid - Foundation


Real Madrid was founded on 6th March 1902 as ‘Madrid Football Club’ and it wasn't until 1920 that King Alfonso XIII bestowed them with the title of "real" or "royal" in English.


Real Madrid started off great as they won four consecutive Copa del Reyfinals from 1905 to 1908 and won their first La-Liga title in 1932. By the outbreak of World War 2 Real Madrid had won 2 La-liga and 7 Copa Del Rey titles.


The post-war period saw Santiago Bernabéu Yeste take over as Real Madrid president. Faced with a difficult task of rebuilding the club, Bernabéu went on to construct a brand new stadium which was later renamed to the Santiago Bernabéu stadium in his honour.


Real Madrid - Early Domination


Di Stéfano, Ferenc Puskás and Francisco Gentowere some of the greats who helped Real Madrid win 4 La Ligas and 1 Copa del Rey by the end of 1960s. Los Blancos also claimed the first five European Cups ever organized from 1956 to 1960.


The two decades that followed were glorious for Real Madrid. Los Blancos absolutely dominated the era by claiming 14 La Ligas and 5 Copa del Reys. The year of 1966 saw Madrid add another European Cup to their collection by defeating Partizan Belgrade 2-1 in the final. The decade was closed out on a sour note, with Santiago Bernabéu Yeste passing away in 1978.


In 1985 Real Madrid clenched their first UEFA Cup victory and their first Champions Leaguetitle in 1998.



Real Madrid logo



Real Madrid v Club Atletico de Madrid - UEFA Champions League Final



The first logo of Real Madrid was a mix of the club’s initials the blue M, C, and F letters written on a white background. On June 29, 1920, Spanish King Alfonso XIII awarded Madrid the title – “Real”, meaning Royal. This reflected on the club’s logo, by the appearance of a crown and has been there ever since.


Real Madrid Slogan - Hala Madrid


The word "Hala" is of Arabic origin, since Spain was conquered by the Arabs hundreds of years ago. The essence of "Hala Madrid" is the emotion, it’s like saying "Onward Madrid" or "Go Madrid". It is basically just a way of supporters to show their respect for the players and the team. It is also to encourage the Players in times of hardship.

Real Madrid Manager - Zidane

Zinedine Yazid Zidane, nicknamed "Zizou", is a former professional football player from France and the current manager of Real Madrid. As a player Zidane was arguably one of the best ever.

Having won various individual accolades through his mesmerising plays Zidane has earned quite a reputation over the years.


Zidane joined Real Madrid as their manager in January 2016 and won an unprecedented three consecutive Champion league titles with Los Blancos before resigning in May 2018.

Real Madrid then saw two new managers Lopetegui and Solari, but their spells were thoroughly disappointing and they were soon replaced by Zidane who signed for Los Blancos once again in 2019.
