 Andy Gray the famous football commentator said "If you ask any football fan to name 5 top clubs, Real Madrid would
definitely be in the list".
Established in 1902 the Spanish Capital City Giants won their 30th League title in the 2006/07 campaign and was also voted recently by FIFA as the Club of the Century. I have watched Real Madrid play from 1998 and season after season have lived the joy and the disappointments for now almost a decade.   Santiago Bernabéu is the home of Real Madrid. The stadium was inaugurated in December 1947 with a match
between Real Madrid and the Portuguese club Os Belenseses. When first expanded in 1954, it became the largest stadium in the
world at that time, with a capacity of 120,000. There have been several renovations since then, and current capacity is 80,400.  La Liga Titles: 30 (record)1931/32, 1932/33, 1953/54, 1954/55, 1956/57, 1957/58,1958/59, 1960/61, 1961/62, 1962/63, 1963/64, 1964/65, 1966/67, 1967/68, 1968/69, 1971/72, 1974/75, 1975/76, 1977/78, 1978/79, 1979/80, 1985/86, 1986/87, 1987/88, 1988/89, 1989/90, 1994/95, 1996/97, 2000/01, 2002/03, 2006/07.
