2025-26

All-white remains the defining identity of Real Madrid. adidas have supplied the club for most of the modern era — with a gap in the late 1980s and 1990s when Hummel and Kelme each had a spell.

15 Champions League titles

No club comes close

Real Madrid have won the European Cup or Champions League 15 times. The next closest clubs are AC Milan with seven and Bayern Munich and Liverpool with six each. For Real Madrid, the UCL is not just a trophy: it is the purpose. The club organises itself, buys players and plans seasons around winning Europe.

Five consecutive titles in the Di Stéfano era (1956–1960). Three in a row under Zidane (2016–2018). A record that may never be broken.

The foundation

Alfredo Di Stéfano

1953–1964 · Alfredo Di Stéfano

Five in a row

Alfredo Di Stéfano arrived from Millonarios in 1953 and turned Real Madrid into the dominant force in world football. Five consecutive European Cups between 1956 and 1960. He scored in every single final.

Alongside Ferenc Puskás — who scored four in the famous 7–3 final against Eintracht Frankfurt — Di Stéfano remains the greatest player in the club's history. The European Cup was essentially invented for this team.

Galácticos

Real Madrid Galácticos 2003

2000–2006 · The Galácticos Era

Buy the best. Every summer.

President Florentino Pérez pioneered a transfer strategy unlike anything the sport had seen: sign the biggest name in football every summer. Zidane from Juventus (2001, €73.5m world record). Ronaldo from Inter Milan (2002). Beckham from Manchester United (2003). Figo from Barcelona (2000, causing riots.

The 2001–02 squad won the Champions League, with Zidane's volley against Bayer Leverkusen arguably the most famous goal in the competition's history.

2009 · The Second Wave

CR7, Kaká and a world record

Florentino Pérez returned as president in 2009 and immediately broke the world transfer record twice in one summer: Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United for €94m and Kaká from AC Milan for €65m. Benzema and Xabi Alonso arrived the same window. The Galácticos philosophy was back.

2014 · Lisbon · La Décima

Twelve years. One goal.

Real Madrid had not won the European Cup since 2002. The 10th title had become an obsession. In the final against city rivals Atlético Madrid, they trailed 1–0 with seconds remaining. Sergio Ramos headed home in the 93rd minute.

Extra time. Ronaldo scored the fourth in the final minute of extra time. 4–1. La Décima. The scenes in Madrid that night were unlike anything the city had seen in decades.

Key milestones

1902

Founded as Madrid FC

Founded on 6 March 1902. The "Real" (Royal) title was granted by King Alfonso XIII in 1920. The club adopts the all-white kit early, earning them the nickname Los Blancos.

1955

Alfredo Di Stéfano arrives

The Argentine forward joins and transforms the club. He scores in each of the first five European Cup finals. Alongside Puskás, he makes Real Madrid the undisputed best club side in the world.

1960

7–3 against Eintracht Frankfurt

The European Cup Final at Hampden Park. Di Stéfano scores three, Puskás four. Watched by 127,000. Widely considered the greatest single performance in football history.

1998

Return to European glory

After a 32-year wait, Real Madrid win their 7th European Cup, beating Juventus 1–0 in Amsterdam. Raúl, Predrag Mijatović and a new generation bring the trophy back to Madrid.

2002

Zidane's volley

Zinédine Zidane's left-footed volley in the Champions League Final against Bayer Leverkusen. One of the greatest goals ever scored, in a white adidas shirt.

2014

La Décima

The 10th European Cup, 12 years in the making. Real beat city rivals Atlético Madrid 4–1 in extra time in Lisbon. Sergio Ramos heads an equaliser in the 93rd minute. Ronaldo scores the fourth.

1
Real Madrid 2002-03

5
Real Madrid 1990-91 Hummel

Real Madrid · 1990/91 · Hummel

The Hummel Years

One of the few periods Real Madrid wore a non-adidas kit. The Danish brand Hummel supplied them for a brief window. A collector's curiosity and a reminder that the adidas partnership wasn't always inevitable.

Real Madrid 1980-81 adidas

Real Madrid · 1980/81 · adidas

The First adidas Era

adidas became kit supplier in the early 1980s, then returned in 1998 after the Hummel and Kelme interludes — and haven't left since. This is one of the earliest adidas Real Madrid shirts in the database.

Legends

The players who wore the white shirt with distinction.

AL

Alfredo Di Stéfano

1953–1964

Five consecutive European Cups. Scored in each final. Many regard him as the greatest player of the 20th century. The foundation on which Real Madrid's European identity was built.

FE

Ferenc Puskás

1958–1966

Scored four in the 1960 European Cup Final. 242 goals in 262 appearances. His understanding with Di Stéfano was the greatest forward partnership in football history.

Raúl González

Raúl González

1994–2010

Club record scorer at the time of his departure with 323 goals. Two Champions League titles, six La Liga titles. The face of Real Madrid for a generation.

Roberto Carlos

Roberto Carlos

1996–2007

The most attacking left-back in football history. Three Champions League medals with Real Madrid. His free-kick for Brazil against France in 1997 — scored while wearing yellow, not white — remains one of the most debated goals ever struck.

Ronaldo Nazário

Ronaldo Nazário

2002–2007

104 goals in 177 games. Two Ballon d'Or titles before arriving, then the 2002 World Cup hat-trick. Injury-hit but devastating in flashes — Real Madrid's greatest pure striker.

Zinédine Zidane

Zinédine Zidane

2001–2006

Arrived for a world-record €73.5m and justified every penny. The 2002 UCL Final volley is the defining image of the Galácticos era. Later won three more UCL titles as manager.

Iker Casillas

Iker Casillas

1999–2015

The greatest goalkeeper in the club's history. World Cup winner 2010, two Euro titles with Spain, two Champions League medals. Made his debut at 18 and barely left for 16 years.

Sergio Ramos

Sergio Ramos

2005–2021

Four Champions League titles, five La Liga titles. His 93rd-minute header in Lisbon to force extra time in the 2014 final is the most important goal in La Décima.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo

2009–2018

All-time top scorer with 450 goals in 438 games. Four Champions League titles, two La Liga titles, four Ballon d'Or awards while at the club.

Luka Modrić

Luka Modrić

2012–present

Six Champions League medals (2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2022, 2024), the 2018 Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year. The most decorated Croatian footballer of all time.

Karim Benzema

Karim Benzema

2009–2023

Ballon d'Or 2022. 354 goals in 648 games. Spent 14 years in Madrid's shadow before stepping into the light and becoming one of the greatest of his generation.

Kit manufacturers

adidas has supplied Real Madrid since the early 1980s — but it wasn't always that way.

Mont-halt ~1970s · 46 kits

The earliest kits in the database. A Spanish manufacturer that supplied Real Madrid before the major sportswear brands moved into football.

Browse
Hummel ~1988–1992 · 33 kits

A brief but memorable interlude with the Danish brand. The Hummel years produced some of the most distinctive Real Madrid kits outside the adidas era.

Browse
Kelme ~1992–1998 · 28 kits

Another Spanish manufacturer, Kelme supplied the club through the early 1990s, including the years leading up to the 1998 Champions League return.

Browse
adidas 1980s–present · 413 kits

By far the dominant partnership. Over 400 kits spanning four decades: Di Stéfano's era is missing, but from the Galácticos through Ronaldo to today, it's all adidas. One of the longest kit partnerships in football.

Badge history

Over 120 years, the Real Madrid crest has evolved from a simple monogram to one of the most recognised badges in sport.

1902

"MFC" monogram in blue on white. No crown, no purple stripe.

1908

Initials refined and a thin decorative border added.

1920

King Alfonso XIII grants "Real". A royal crown appears for the first time.

1931

Crown removed during the Republic. Club briefly becomes "Madrid FC".

1941

Crown returns with a purple Castile stripe. This version lasts 56 years.

1997–now

The diagonal stripe shifts from purple to dark blue. The cross on the crown is quietly omitted on merchandise in some markets.

Estadio Santiago Bernabéu

Estadio Santiago Bernabéu

The Santiago Bernabéu has stood in the heart of Madrid since 1947. Named after the president who commissioned it, the stadium has been continuously expanded and modernised. A €900m renovation completed in 2023 added a retractable roof and a 360-degree video screen canopy.

Unlike Barcelona, Real Madrid played through their renovation at the Bernabéu itself, using a temporary structure while the work continued around them.
