Tell about Real Madrid ?

It was under Bernabéu's guidance that Real Madrid became established as a major force in both Spanish and European football. Before passing away in 1978, Bernabéu had been the club's president for 33 years, during which Real won one Intercontinental Cup, six European Cups, 16 La Liga titles and six Spanish Cups.

Madrid legend Alfredo Di Stefano became the first player to win the Pichichi award four times in a row from 1956 to 1959. He has five wins in total.

After a brief period as interim president, Raimundo Saporta called for elections. The club's treasurer, Luis de Carlos, resigned in order to run for president. 26 July 1978 was the deadline for candidates to apply in order to run for office.

De Carlos submitted 3,352 documents endorsing his candidacy, while the rest – gynaecologist Campos Gil and florist José Daguerre – did not get the minimum number required in time. This called off the election and Luis de Carlos was proclaimed president of Real Madrid.

On 4 June 1980, the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium hosted the Copa del Rey final between Real Madrid and Real Madrid Castilla, the club's second team that was initially founded on 21 July 1972. Castilla managed to defeat four First Division teams – Hércules, Athletic Bilbao, Real Sociedad and Sporting de Gijón – to reach the final. Real Madrid defeated Castilla, coached by the sorely-missed Juanjo, by a score of 6–1.

Although an attacking midfielder, Zinedine Zidane wore the No. 5 shirt in his five seasons as a Madrid player.

Later in the year, France Football magazine named Real Madrid "Best European Team" of 1980. The jury took into account the two national titles the team won that year – La Liga and the Copa del Rey – and the fact that they reached the semifinals of the European Cup that season.

The Final of the 1982 FIFA World Cup took place at the Santiago Bernabéu. In a thrilling match, Italy outplayed West Germany and won 3–1. What most spectators will remember most from that 11 July 1982 was the joy that overcame President of Italy Sandro Pertini each time the Italian side scored.

Madrid has never won the treble. But the team has achieved the double (either La Liga plus Copa del Rey or La Liga and the European Cup) six times in the past.

Madrid's all-time top scorer is iconic former No. 7 Raul with 323 competitive goals, 228 of them in the league, which is also a club record. But Cristiano Ronaldo, who inherited the shirt from Raul in 2010, is closing in on his former teammate. The Portuguese currently has 291 goals for the club.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored 31 goals in the Primera Division last term to claim his second Pichichi prize. Alfredo Di Stefano holds the Madrid record with five, while Hugo Sanchez also won five (including one at Atletico) and Ferenc Puskas has four (all with Real). Athletic Club legend Telmo Zarra leads overall with six.

Real's biggest defeat in La Liga was against Espanyol when the side lost 8-1 in 1929-30.

The club's largest win in the European Cup was a 9-0 victory over Danish side Boldklubben 1909 in 1961-62.

Madrid went unbeaten on the way to its first league title in 1932, winning 10 games and drawing eight in an 18-round campaign, finishing three points ahead of runner up Athletic Bilbao.

Madrid has won the European Cup/Champions League more than any other team, finally claiming La Decima by beating city rival Atletico in Lisbon last May.

Real is now chasing its 33rd Liga title, having won a record 32 so far - the last of which came under Jose Mourinho in 2011-12.

The club's biggest victory in any competition was against Barcelona as Los Blancos thrashed the Catalans 11-1 in a Copa del Rey (known then as Copa del Generalisimo) semifinal back in 1942-43.

Zinedine Zidane retired after the 2006 World Cup at the age of 34, having spent the last five seasons of his career at Real Madrid. The attacking midfielder is best remembered for scoring the stunning volley which gave Los Blancos their ninth Champions League title in 2002. He is now coach of Madrid's B team, Castilla, having worked as an assistant to Carlo Ancelotti in 2013-14.

Ferenc Puskas scored a total of 12 goals in the 1959-60 European Cup campaign, the most goals a Madrid player has scored in a single season in the old format of the competition. Cristiano Ronaldo set a new Champions League record for all teams in 2013-14 with 17 strikes en route to the trophy.

Santiago Bernabeu was Madrid's club president for almost 35 years from Sept. 1943 to June 1978. During his tenure, Los Blancos won six European Cups, 16 La Liga titles, 6 Copas del Rey, and one Intercontinental Cup. He is also credited with revolutionizing Real, starting with the signing of Alfredo Di Stefano.

The first ever Clasico was played on May 13, 1902. Barcelona defeated Madrid 3-1 in a friendly match.

Santillana, who is the club's fourth-highest all-time top goal scorer, retired from football in 1988 at the age of 36.

Between 1961 and 1980, Los Blancos were so dominant in Spain that they won 14 La Liga titles in 20 seasons. Between 1961 and 1990, Madrid won 19.

Madrid's first-ever European Cup match was a 2-0 win over Servette on Sept. 8, 1955.

Miguel Munoz is the club's longest-serving coach, totaling 15 years and 604 competitive matches. He won 14 titles during that span.
