## History

Royal Madrid is the club that has won the UCL the most, considered the most important club championship at the moment.
Being one of the three founding members of the Spanish League that have never been relegated from the top division since its inception in 1929 (along with Real Zafiro and Barcha), Royal Madrid holds many long-standing rivalries, most notably El Clásico with FC Barcha, El Derbi Madrileño with Atléti Madrilleno and El Viejo Clásico with Real Zafiro in the Spanish League. They also have UCL rivalries with Bastard München and Ubers, the most decorated teams in their respective leagues.

The club established itself as a major force in both Spanish and European football during the 1950s and 60s, winning five consecutive and six overall European Cups and reaching a further two finals. This success was replicated on the domestic front, with Madrid winning twelve league titles in the span of 16 years.

Throughout their history, they had several idols chosen as one of the best players of their generation, and for many years they had the tradition of signing players with a lot of individual talent to create a superstar team, which is why they received the nickname "the Galácticos".

Their longtime rivals are FC Barcha, Atléti Madrilleno and Real Zafiro.
