Historical leader

Real Madrid have taken more points in the First Division than any other side

With a spectacular end to the year Bernd Schuster's men keep proving they truly deserve to be part of the Best Club of the 20th Century. No one has taken as many points, scored as many goals or won as many titles as Real Madrid.

This has been a good year for the Club. After winning their 30th League title in June, Real Madrid are currently leaders and Winter Champions in the Legaue.
Ever since the Club was founded in 1902, the football team has been earning spectacular and historcal figures, many of which were the reason FIFA decided to name Real Madrid the Best Club of the 20th Century a few years ago.

Real Madrid have taken more points in the Spanish First Division than any other side: 3,525 in official games, 131 more than Barcelona, who are second in the ranking. The Whites took their largest number of points in the 1996/97 campaign (92), losing only 4 games and winning their 27th League title. It seems they may even break this record this year, having already taken 41 points, seven more than Barcelona.


 
Real Madrid share the distinction of playing 2,398 First Division matches with Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona in 78 seasons, but the Whites have won a larger number of fixtures: 1.375, drawing 508 and losing only 515.

The Whites are the historical top scorers in the Spanish League with 4,950 goals -they are followed by Barcelona in the ranking with 4,891 strikes-. The Club's top scorer is its current Honourary President Alfredo Di Stéfano with 216 goals, a record Raúl González seems determined to break, having scored 195 strikes in 14 years.

These impressive figures have naturally earned Real Madrid an amazing track record: 30 League titles -being runners-up 17 times-, 17 King's Cups and 7 Spanish Super Cups. They have also won 9 European Cups, 3 Intercontinental Cups and 2 UEFA Cups.

But this surely won't end here. After Christmas, Bernd Schuster's men will do their best to have a great start to the new year and eventually go on to in more accolades for the Club.

Top draw, argubly, the greatest club in the world.
