The most famous soccer team in the modern society

I am very sure that if you like to play and/or have an interest in soccer, you definitely have heard about   RealMadrid C.F. soccer club. Literally,  Real Madrid C.F. is arguably the most famous soccer team in the world. For last 113 years,  Real Madrid C.F. can be taken as a legendary soccer team. Until now,  Real Madrid C.F. is  still continuing its legendary story.

The club was founded in 1902 as an offshoot of Club Espanol de Madrid. They were called Madrid C.F. and won their first trophy, the Spanish Cup, in 1905 -- before adding three more in the next three seasons. In 1920 the name of the club was changed to Real Madrid after King Alfonso XIII gave them the title of Real (Royal). Later Real would become known as the "regime team" when they received considerable support from General Franco.

In 1932, before club announced their first La Liga, and kept it the followings season. However, there were no more championships in the next 20 years. And then, in the next round decade in which Real Madrid C.F. become one of the game's superpowers. A team build around the astonishing forward partnership of Ferenc Puskas and Alferedo Di won the first five European Cups between 1956 and 1960. when they beat Eintracht Frankfurt 7-3 in an almost mythical final at Hampden Park. Puskas and Di Stefano shared all seven goals.

In around past decade, Two more European Cups were added in 2000 and 2002, by which time Real Madrid C.F.'s Galactico experiment was in full swing. This was implemented when Florentino Perez took over in 2000, and involved buying the best or most marketable player in the world each summer. In order, Real signed Luis Figo, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo and David Beckham. 

The more players they bought, the worse Real seemed to get. A spell of four trophyless years from 2003 to 2007 was their worst since the early 50s. Only when they abandoned the Galactico experiment, with Perez leaving the club, did they win championships in 2007 and 2008. But a 10th European Cup proved elusive. Real could not even get close, and went out in the first knockout round for six consecutive seasons. With Barcelona reaching new heights of excellence, there was only thing for it: more Galacticism. Perez returned to the club in 2009 and shattered the world transfer record twice within a fortnight, first to sign Kaka and then Cristiano Ronaldo. 

A year later he made an even more important signing: Jose Mourinho, the world's first Galactico manager. As always with Real Madrid, only the very best was good enough. Although Mourinho failed to bring the league back to Madrid in his first season, he did seal a Copa del Rey success over rivals Barcelona for the first time since 1993. More, however, was delivered as the league title arrived the following season with a record points tally and record number of goals scored. However, lured back to Chelsea, Mourinho left the club in 2013 and was replaced by Italian veteran Carlo Ancelotti. The world record signing of Tottenham's Gareth Bale for 100 million euros saw another Galactico arrive and the Welshman would help Madrid get their hands on the Copa del Rey, with Bale scoring the winner in the final against Barcelona, and then the covetedDecima as they beat Atletico Madrid 4-1 in extra-time of the 2014 Champions League final (with Bale again the hero) to write themselves into the history books.
