Founded in 1902 as Madrid Football Club, the club has traditionally worn a white home kit since its inception.

Real Madrid have played their home matches in the 83,168-capacity Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in downtown Madrid since 1947. Unlike most European sporting entities, Real Madrid's members (socios) have owned and operated the club throughout its history. The official Madrid anthem is the "Hala Madrid y nada más", written by RedOne and Manuel Jabois. The club is one of the most widely supported in the world, and is the most followed football club on social media according to the CIES Football Observatory as of 2023 and was estimated to be worth $5.1 billion in 2022, making it the world's most valuable football club. In 2023, it was the second highest-earning football club in the world, with an annual revenue of €713.8 million
Real Madrid was recognised as the best football club of the 20th century by FIFA and as the best European club during the same timeframe by the IFFHS, whilst also receiving the FIFA Centennial Order of Merit in 2004. Real Madrid has the highest participation in the European Cup/Champions League (42), tournament in which they hold the overall record for the most wins, most draws and most goals scored. Real Madrid is the only club to have won three consecutive titles (three-peat) in the European Cup/Champions League twice, first in 1955–56, 1956–57, and 1957–58, and second in 2015–16, 2016–17, and 2017–18.

Yeap, beating off Barcelona for his signature. Thoughts fellow madridistas?
While Guler is viewed as somewhat of a generational talent by Real, I feel that there are still urgent positions that need to be address. The most glaring one being the vacant striker position. Joselu while good is not world class. Mbappe's saga is also getting tiring
Fellow madridstas... how do you rate our transfer so far?
Ins:
- Mbappe
Out:
- Joselu - Nacho
Lost out:
- Yoro
8/10 for Mbappe alone, now the question is are there anyone from cantera/castilla can step up to be a valuable "rotation/squad player" that are willing to spend most of their career at the club. Or even sign a player willing to do so.
Don't want another player that thinks he deserves better than being a rotation/squad player.
