This is a picture from the Real Madrid game that I went to about two weeks ago. It was an amazing game, and (as usual) REAL MADRID WON!! This game was UNLIKE the Real Madrid-Liverpool game that was on this past Wednesday, where Real Madrid was unfortunately defeated. Anyways, back to this game...I almost felt like a real Spaniard being at this game. It was really cool to see the greatest futbol team in the world play. And that isn't just my opinion, they are officially the most successful futbol team in Spain and was voted by FIFA as the most successful club of the 20th century. Real Madrid has won 31 La Liga titles, 17 Spanish Cups, 9 European Cups, and two UEFA Cups. The team has played in it's home in Santiago Bernabeu Estadio, which has a capacity of 80,354 persons, since 1947. The player that you see in this picture is none other than Rafael van der Vaart that generally plays midfield. The most notible player for Real Madrid is Raul Gonzalez Blanco who broke the record for most goals scored for Real Madrid with 311 career goals.
