Real Madrid, along with Barcelona, is the most dominant club in La Liga. Since the team was established in 1902, it has won 28 league championships and 8 Europe Champion's League titles. Now, the club put together, arguably, the best line-up in the world and the praise goes to the owner, Florentino Perez, who shows no economy in acquiring the best players, so it's no surprise to hear that the club has the two most expensive players in the world, Zidane and Ronaldo. But despite tons of offensive weapons, including their most recent acquirement David Beckham, that the team has, it shows a great weakness in defense.
Complimenting a team packed full of ‘galacticos’, Madrid’s off-the-field fortunes are suitably out of this world. Like United, Madrid enjoy global recognition thanks to their domination of European competition and their star-studded team. In recent years, their marketability has increased hugely thanks to the acquisitions of Zidane, Figo and old Goldenballs himself, David Beckham.
