#1 The glamour and lure of Real Madrid

There are a number of top clubs in the world – Manchester United in England, Bayern Munich in Germany and Barcelona in Spain, itself. However, none of them holds the allure that Real Madrid does. It is the dream of most players in the world to don the Los Blancos jersey and step on the pitch at Santiago Bernabeu, one of the world’s most iconic stadiums.

Be it the huge capacity crowd of over 80,000 cheering in every game, or the special unveiling that top players receive at the stadium on signing for the club, unlike at any other club, there is a certain aura associated with playing for the capital club.

Any player who joins the club is automatically elevated to the level of a superstar and this cannot be said about any other club in the world. Further, Madrid being the football capital of Europe adds more glamour to the club and just like how the club has royal in its name and the crown in its emblem, both the players and managers become royalty in the footballing world.
