<span style="color: #444444;">Real Madrid Club de Fútbol (<i>Royal Madrid Football Club</i>), commonly known as <b>Real Madrid</b>, is a professional football club based in Madrid, Spain. It was founded in 1902 as<i>Madrid Football Club</i> and has traditionally worn a white home kit since. The word<i>Real</i> is Spanish for <i>royal</i> and was bestowed to the club by King Alfonso XIII in 1920 together with the royal crown in the emblem. The club established itself as a major force in both Spanish and European football during the 1950s.</span></div>

The club is the world's second most valuable football club, worth €1.4 billion, and the richest in terms of annual revenue, generating €438.6 million in 2011. Real Madrid holds many long-standing rivalries, most notably <i>El Clásico</i> with FC Barcelona.
