More than a sport
In Spain, this sport is really important because historically this country got a lot of success in this activity and so spanish people are proud of it.
I know that football is not an extrem sport or a dangerous one like bullfighting, soapbox races or wingsuit jump, but this sport matters so much in Spain that I couldn't avoid it.
Football is a real part of spanish culture : every city has a team, there are a lot of sport magazine and sport TV dealing with football actualities, evaluating every move and analysing every word !
Famous spanish club in the world : two giants
- FC Barcelona
Founded in 1899, FC Barcelona is going through a golden age since 2003. Indeed, he becomes the most successfull european club in the 20th century and in 2010 he was considered the most famous club in Europe.
FC Barcelona won twenty to two championships twenty-six Spanish Cups, four Champions Leagues, four Cups Winners Cup, three Inter-Cities Fairs Cups and two FIFA Club World Cup.
FC Barcelona is the rival of the capital football team the Real Madrid.
- Real Madrid
Founded in 1902, Real Madrid becomes an important club around the 50's. Now the organism is the most famous in Spain !
Easily understandable when we know that Real Madrid won 32 Liga titles, 18 Spanish Cups, a record 9 Champions League and two UEFA Cups. This success story is due to very good players wich represent a quiet big part in the game... This selection allowed the organism to become one of the better football club in the world : Cristiano Ronaldo is the perfect example of this players selection.
