  • Real Madrid C.F
    Real Madrid C.F. Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, commonly known as Real Madrid) is a professional football club based in Madrid, Spain. It is the most successful team in Spanish football and was voted by FIFA as the most successful club of the 20th century: ‐ Thirty‐one La Liga titles ‐ Seventeen Spanish Cups ‐ Nine European Cups ‐ Two UEFA Cups Founded in 1902, Real Madrid has since spent all of its history in the top flight of Spanish football. In the 1940s, the club, the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium and the Ciudad Deportiva were rebuilt following the Spanish Civil War. The club established itself as a major force in both Spanish and European football during the 1950s. In the 1980s, the club had one of the best teams in Spain and Europe (known as La Quinta del Buitre), winning two UEFA Cups, five Spanish championships in a row, one Spanish cup and three Spanish Super Cups. The team traditional home colours are all white, although it initially adopted a blue oblique stripe on the shirt. Its crest has been changed several times in attempts to modernise or re‐brand; the current crest is a modified version of the one first adopted in the 1920s. Real's home ground is the 80,354‐person‐ capacity Santiago Bernabéu football stadium in downtown Madrid, where it has played since 1947. Real Madrid holds long‐standing rivalries with some other clubs; the most notable of these is with FC Barcelona, the two teams regularly contesting the El Clásico. Unlike most European football clubs, Real Madrid's members (socios) have owned and operated the club since its inception.

  • Lionel Messi: a Biography Lionel Messi Is a Professional Footballer
    Lionel Messi: A Biography Lionel Messi is a professional footballer who plays for the Spanish football team, FC Barcelona. He wears the number 10 shirt for his club and for his national team, Argentina. Also, he is widely regarded as the best player of all time, along with Cristiano Ronaldo, and the now­retired footballers, Pele and Diego Maradona. Read on to find out more about this spectacular footballer. Childhood Lionel Messi was born on 24 June 1987 in the small town of Rosario, Argentina. His mother is called Celia Cuccitini, and his father is called Jorge Messi. Celia was a magnet manufacturer and Jorge was a steel factory worker. Lionel is the 3rd oldest of 4 children in his family. His two older brothers are called Rodrigo and Matias (both of whom are also professional footballers) and a younger sister called Maria Sol. He played for a children’s football club and became the star of the team very quickly, becoming part of their best season’s team, and joined the Machine of ‘87 (the club’s best team). Unfortunately, at the age of 11, he was diagnosed with GHD (growth hormone deficiency). Not even River Plate, the country’s richest team at the time, would (or could) pay for the treatment due to Argentina’s economic collapse. This deficiency severely affected his football life and could have eventually ended it. One day, Charly Rexach, the manager of FC Barcelona at the time, said to Messi and his family that the team could pay for his growth hormone treatment.
