Real Madrid – 5 things that come to mind

#1 Best club in the world

Real Madrid are the best in the world

For some, this might be an exaggeration and for some others, it is just a cold and hard fact. While Manchester City might be rivalling the Blancos for this tag, they are yet to win anything significant to be labelled as such.

Madrid, meanwhile, are the current European and Spanish and World champions after beating Juventus, Barcelona and Gremio to those titles, respectively. At one point this year, they were seemingly unbeatable—the kind of form that won them the double.

They might be struggling now, but their Club World Cup triumph has reaffirmed their spot at the top—factually, at least—and that is what matters.

For every club, beating Real Madrid is the goal—that alone shows that the Merengues are the reference point for every team in the world. And what makes one the reference point?

Being the best.
