Real Madrid (founded 1902) is one of Spain and Europe's most successful football clubs. It contests in the Spanish first division or Primera División, from which it has never been relegated in its history.
Since the middle of the twentieth century, Real Madrid has consistently been ranked as one of the top football clubs in Europe. It has won the European Cup more times than any other club. The rivalry between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona is legendary, and draws as much from Spanish politics as it does from footballing matters.
