Get a look at Spain’s kings of association football with tickets to see one of the most revered teams in the sport. With their iconic white home kit and some of the best players in the game, the most storied team in Madrid has excited fans for more than a century. A mainstay of La Liga’s top division and the first team to win the UEFA Champions League back-to-back, Real Madrid delivers first-class soccer wherever they play.
Founded in 1902 as Madrid Club de Fútbol, the team earned its first league title by claiming the Spanish Cup just 3 years later. After becoming a founding member of the Royal Spanish Football Federation and claiming the cup 4 more times, the team impressed King Alfonso XIII enough to earn its Real moniker—which means “Royal” in Spanish—in 1920.
When the European Cup was created as a venue for the continent’s finest teams, Real Madrid quickly rose to dominate the competition, winning the cup in each of its first 5 years. From there, Los Blancos went on to cement their place as one of the greatest sports franchises of the 20th century. Real Madrid made history in 2014 as the first club to claim “La Décima,” winning the team’s 10th European title, and again in 2016 and 2017 by winning the Champions League twice in a row.
From Alfredo Di Stéfano and Amancio Amaro to Raúl, Ronaldo, and Zidane, Real Madrid has counted generations of soccer legends among its ranks. You can feel the excitement whether the team is facing off against Liga rivals like FC Barcelona and Atlético Madrid or their international nemesis of Bayern Munich, and watching them play in Santiago Bernabéu Stadium is an unforgettable standout among the things to do in Madrid. Don’t miss your chance to pick up tickets to a Real Madrid game and see the action for yourself.
