Real Madrid Club de Fútbol (commonly known as Real Madrid or Madrid) is a Spanish sports club best known for its football team. It is the most successful team in the world and has even been named "The Best Club of the 20th Century" by FIFA in 2000, having won a record 31 La Liga titles, 17 Spanish Cups, a record 9 European Cups and 2 UEFA Cups. Founded in 1902, Real Madrid has since spent all of its history in the top flight of Spanish football. The club's home colours are their legendary all white and they play their home games at the 80,354-capacity Santiago Bernabéu football stadium. Unlike most European football clubs, Real Madrid's members (socios) have owned and operated the club since its inception.

The Crest


The first crest of Real Madrid had a simple design consisting of a decorative interlacing of the three initials of the club, "MCF" for Madrid Club de Fútbol, 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. 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", roughly translated as "Royal". Thus, the crown was added to the crest and the club styled itself Real Madrid Club de Fútbol. 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. In 1941, two years after the end of the Civil War, the "Real Corona", or "Royal Crown", was restored while the mulberry stripe of Castile was retained as well. 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 Fútbol. The most recent modification to the crest occurred in 2001 when the club wanted to better situate itself for the twenty-first century and further standardize its crest. One of the modifications made was changing the mulberry stripe to a more bluish shade.

The Stadium





The Kit





Real Madrid's traditional home colours are all white. The clubs' nicknames "Los Blancos" ("The Whites") and "Los Merengues" (after the dessert meringue) were influenced by it. The kit initially adopted a blue oblique stripe on the shirt; but unlike today, dark blue socks were worn. The striped shirt was replaced by an all-white version, modeled after the shirt worn by Corinthian F.C. in 1902. In the same year, the blue socks were replaced by black ones. By the early 1940s the manager changed the kit again by adding the club's crest on the left breast (which have remained ever since). On 23 November 1947, in a game against Atlético Madrid at the Metropolitano Stadium, Real Madrid became the first Spanish team to wear numbered shirts.

Madrid's traditional away colours are all black or all purple. The club's kit is currently manufactured by Adidas and their current shirt sponsor is bwin.com

welcome madridistas

finally, gratz for new tered. last tered lasted for 2years+...let's see this one will last how long.

one point separated 3 teams on top. 9 games to go. any banana skin in the remaining league matches??

sevilla and sociedad away look tricky... last 6 games all winable... we could win the league without beating atletico or barca even once but who cares.... last season barca couldnt beat us n they still won the league

woot woot! new thread!!

let continue our unwavering support for Real Madrid

Hala madrid

Not a good way to start a new thread (with a defeat)

Anyway... We can't slip up anymore

sevilla v real madrid early tomorrow morning. sevilla could be tough. i dont know how sevilla play but it was always quite tough.
but i have seen real sociedad play, and i think real sociedad is a real unpredictable one.

both sevilla and sociedad are unpredictable teams... i watched sevilla play barca few weeks ago n first 20 minutes sevilla totaly dominated barca n should have been atleast 3-0 ahead.... we need to be patient and take our chances later in the game.. we cannt concede early goals

Another bad day.. No ramos, no di maria.. Our team became fragile against parking bus team.. What can i say.. We just lost hope for the title..

Ft : 1-2

terrible performance.... worst i have seen whole season... sevilla oni created two chances whole game and they scored... Ancelotti must b brave enough to make early subs... . missing jese in this sort of games... and why the hell bringing morata on 90th minute...

disappointing. sevilla continues their good run. RM were not good enough.

valdes out for 6 months.. hope barcelona defender not so good

i didnt watch the game but i have a feeling that having jese wont help much. isco will had he played from the start. amazing what a defeat against your arch rivals can do to your mentality. real madrid are suffering from it.

for me.. having alonso and illara playin together not the best tactics, they got same style, also, illara still in learning phase.. his reaction quite slow.. we need fast pace player like di maria to break the parking bus team

I really don't like when the team under pressure or when we left behind especially Ronaldo . . his selfishness , I must say really shine lor . . adoii . . rugi2 3 mata . . now hoping that atletico and barca will slip up and we must win all games . .

this lost means
la liga is over for RM.
they had peak in the middle of the season.
while barca seems to peak at this last quarter.

hoped that ATM won la liga. gave some freshness from the duopoly.
i somehow hate the current TV rights system as its damaging la liga
by RM and UEFALONA duopoly.

i kind of agree with the illara and alonso assessment. i thought they are too similar to play together. illara is a like for like replacement for xabi, and he's no shuttler like di maria. wonder if casemiro would be a better choice.

how do you comment on ronaldo? on one hand, his selfishness is the reason why real madrid are scoring. on the other, he is berated for trying too hard to score, do it all by himself most of the time. this all points to his average decision making. i get what you mean, i have seen him play and there are many times when he could play in someone for a better goal scoring opportunity but chose to go at it alone. thing is, i have seen that from bale, benzema and morata too. isco as well. maybe its a team thing. too anxious to be important for the club that team play suffers. sacrifice is needed, just like xabi. it has been a long time since he last scored.

situation right now reminds me of the juande ramos time in charge. won all until the classico, and then all came apart.

i think its time to bring iker back to the league games ... diego lopez sometimes i feel is very slow coming out to close down 1 v 1 situation..

yeay i know that . . sometimes i do feel pity for other teammate if they already have open space to score goal but still Ronaldo didn't pass the ball yet trying to score for himself . . haihh . . besides , there's also bonus for them if they score a goal . . memang berebut2 nak score goal lah . . haha

illara and xabi , both style of play is same . . contain the opposition , keep hold in the midfield area and spray passes to the strikers . .

well . . we still have champions league and copa del rey . . but let's do hope we manage to get treble this season . .
