Real Madrid CF was founded in 1902 as Madrid Football Club. 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 Bernabeau 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 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 and 9 UEFA Champions League titles.
Recent years have seen Madrid lacking behind rivals FC Barcelona, who have dominated Spanish as well as world football for the past 5 years. Madrid squad can proudly boast the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo, Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos and newly inducted Gareth Bale, who was signed on the deadline day for a world record transfer fee.
