History

The Florentino Pérez Era (2000-2006)

2000-2003: Dream Team

July 2000. A great time for all Madrid fans. Fiorentino Perez was elected as the club's new president and promised he would get Madrid out of debt and refurbish the facilities. The main promise he made was he would sign Barcelona star, Luis Figo. Perez claimed he already had a contract with Figo that if he was elected as president, Figo would make the move to the Bernabeu. One week later, Figo was presented the white shirt and the number 10.

Perez also made some other major purchases that summer, including Makelele, Celades and Santiago Solari and a few other players. With the possibility of 5 trophies, the expectations of Real Madrid rocketed. They began their first test at the start of the season as they faced Galatasaray in the European Super Cup but lost 2-1 and lost Spanish centre forward, Morientes due to injury. Manager, Vicente Del Bosque, used youth team graduate, Guti to play in Morientes' role. Madrid made a good start to both domestic and European competitions but were defeated 2-0 to Catalan giants, Barcelona at the Nou Camp and were eliminated out of the Copa Del Rey by Toledo as well as losing the Intercontinental Cup final to Boca Juniors which included Martin Palermo and Riquelme. Real Madrid quickly regained their form and went top in the league in mid-January. They advanced from the second group stage of the Champions League to face Galatasaray in the quarter finals. They lost in Istanbul 3-2 but recovered to win 3-0 at home. Thus, producing a replay of the 1999-2000 Champions League semi final against Bayern Munich. They would stop their Champions League run here though losing out 3-1 to eventual champions. However, they were determined to win the league and finally did as they were crowned champions on 26 May as they destroyed Alaves 5-0 at the Bernabeu. Two goals from Raul and goals from Guti, Hierro and Helguera ensured the new Madrid would lift at least one trophy this season with two matches left to play.

Zinedine Zidane in 2001, Ronaldo in 2002 and David Beckham in 2003 were next big money signings to join this history making Madrid. This led to the media referring to Madrid as "Los Galacticos" which translates to "The Superstars". The strategy was to combine the world stars with the youth team graduates. This worked very well as they won La Liga in 2001 and 2003, the UEFA Champions League in their centenary year, 2002, the Intercontinental Cup, the European Super Cup and the Supercopa de Espana in 2001 and 2003.

This strategy resulted in major financial success due to the exploitation of the club's high marketing potential around the world, especially Asia.

In the summer of 2003, right after the capture of yet another La Liga title, the Real Madrid board of directors refused to renew the contract of coach, Vicente Del Bosque. Captain Fernando Hierro left after an internal dispute and left the armband to Raul who became the new captain. They also ignored Claude Makelele's request of a new contract with a raise in salary. He then asked for a transfer request which saw him leave to join English giants, Chelsea.

2003/2004 Season: Wind of Change

Days after capturing the league title, Vicente Del Bosquehas been sacked by Perez because he "was not the right man for the job" and they wanted someone younger to boost the team. The atmosphere was terrible as captain, Fernando Hierro, left the club and gave Raul the captain's armband. Steve McManaman soon followed, both the players left due to a disagreement with the management. the club travelled to Asia to introduce newly siged David Beckham. Perez also refused to give Claude Makelele a salary rise which led to him being transferred to Chelsea. Fernando Morientes left the club on loan to Monaco. Newly appointed coach, Carlos Queiroz started the league slowly with a hard win over Betis.

Everyone was convinced when Madrid won 7-2 against Valladolid. The second half of the season gave the youngsters a chance to shine. Players such as Borja Fernandez, Alvaro Mejia, Antonio Nunez, and Juanfran played as Queiroz rotated his squad. Portillo was missing as poor performances led him out to join Fiorentina on loan. Madrid topped their Champions League table and were through to the quarter finals after defeating Bayern Munich 2-1 on aggregate. However their Champions League run stopped when Monaco's on loan striker, Morientes, put Monaco through, leaving his club to focus on the league. Real kept their heads up and were soon leading the league table by 8 points ahead of Valencia in February. They were beaten for the first time at home that season thanks to CA Osasuna 3-0. Although they recovered their advantage after a win at the Vicente Calderón Stadium. Disappointment came when they lost their last 5 games in the league at home to RCD Mallorca, rivals FC Barcelona, Real Sociedad, Real Murcia and Deportivo de La Coruna. Teams like Valencia, Barcelona, and Deportivo passed Madrid to make up the top three and Real ended the season in a disappointing 4th place. Their poor performances continued as they lost the final of the Copa Del Rey to Real Zaragoza. Shortly after the end of the season, Carlos Queiroz was sacked and replaced by ex-Real Madrid player, José Antonio Camacho.

2004/05 Season

Club legend, Jose Antonio Camacho was appointed as head coach after Queiroz was Sacked. Camacho persuaded Perez to spend €45 million on Argentine defender, Walter Samuel and English centre back, Johnathan Woodgate. They failed to sign Arsenal's midfield maestro, Patrick Viera as he wanted a huge paycheck that Madrid did not want to pay. Claude Makalele left that window as he also wanted a large paycheck. Cameroon striker, Samuel Eto'o, who had been on loan to Real Mallorca, travelled to the Camp Nou to play football for Barcelona.

Michael Owen never settled at Real Madrid while Samuel Eto'o went on to do great things for Barcelona. Camacho resigned as Real were performing so badly. He was soon replaced by Garcia Remon and in his last game he lost at the hands of Sevilla and failed to catch up with Barcelona who won by 6 points while Madrid only managed 5th place. Remon was replaced by Luxemborgo in winter. He signed Thomas Gravesen from Everton to fill the hole in midfield. Madrid crashed out of the Champions League and the Copa Del Rey as they failed to go into the quarter finals. Although in the league they to earn a hard fought 2nd place, only 4 points behind Barcelona.

2005/06 season: End of an Era

The 2005/2006 season looked promising as Madrid signed Julio Baptista for €20 million and Robinho and Sergio Ramos for €30 million each. However the Brazilian coach was not succesful on the pitch as Real Madrid continued their bad form. They hit rock bottom, losing 3-0 at home to Barcelona. Luxemburgo resigned and left former Castilla manager, Juan Ramon Lopez Caro in charge of the whites. They did come back to form but that came to a complete stop as they lost in the first leg of the Copa Del Rey an embarrising 6-1 defeat to Zaragoza. They then were eliminated from the Champions League, making it 4 years in a row, this time they lost out to a very strong Arsenal side. On February 27th 2006, Florentino Perez resigned. Real Madrid eventually managed to finish second in the league but did not climb up to challenge defending champions, Barcelona.

[The Ramón Calderón Era (2006-2009)

Ramón Calderón was chairman of Real Madrid.On July 2, 2006 Ramón Calderón was elected as club president and subsequently appointed Fabio Capello as the new coach and Predrag Mijatoviæ as the new sporting director. As new manager of Real Madrid, Capello signed the World Cup winning captain Fabio Cannavaro and Emerson, both from embattled Juventus, for a total sum of €23 m; Ruud van Nistelrooy from Manchester United for €15 m; Mahamadou Diarra from Lyon for €26 m and on a last minute trade loan - José Antonio Reyes, with Julio Baptista going the other way, after a disappointing time at Madrid. Ramon failed, however, to sign A.C. Milan star Kaká, Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas and Chelsea star Arjen Robben as was promised by the new president. During the January transfer window, he has managed to sign Fluminense left back Marcelo (€6.5 m), River Plate forward Gonzalo Higuaín (€13 m) and Boca Juniors midfielder Fernando Gago (€18 m).]

[2006-07 season

On January 16, 2007, Calderón made some very unfortunate comments about the behavior of some players in the squad and the Santiago Bernabéu fans, which has put the club in a delicate situation.[4] One of the players that Calderón criticised was David Beckham, who, in January 2007, agreed to a deal to play for LA Galaxy at the end of that season. Among others to criticise Beckham was manager Fabio Capello, who, at the time, vowed never to select Beckham for the team again, although he later withdrew his words. At the end of January Ronaldo left the club for 7.5 million euros for AC Milan. On February 9, 2007, Capello allowed Beckham back onto Real's starting 11 in an away match against Real Sociedad, Beckham played well and scored the equalizing goal in the match (Real Madrid won the match 2-1). On February 24, 2007, the Madrid derby between Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid at the Vicente Calderón Stadium was a 1-1 draw. The scorers were Fernando Torres for Atlético, and Gonzalo Higuain for Real. The Madrid derby is seen as one of the most fiercely contested matches in the Spanish football calendar.

On March 7, 2007 Real Madrid failed to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League due to Bayern Munich's strong home performance. Despite winning the home leg 3-2, they lost 2-1 in Germany and were eliminated on an away goals tiebreaker. Bayern scored the fastest goal in the Champions league during that match, after Roberto Carlos lost the ball after kick-off, which led to Roy Makaay scoring in 10 seconds.

On March 10, 2007 Real Madrid contested the Clasico against Barcelona at the Camp Nou. Real Madrid took the lead 3 times after 2 goals from Ruud van Nistelrooy and one from Sergio Ramos but were pegged back by a hat-trick from Lionel Messi, including an injury-time equaliser. Despite the sending off of Oleguer, the Clasico ended 3-3.

Real Madrid managed to find their form consistently for the first time all season as they managed to win seven out of eight of the final twelve games, including a 2-1 home win over Valencia on April 21, 2007 and another 3-2 home win over Sevilla on May 6, 2007. Calderón then went on to say that if the team keep up their great play, he was confident Real Madrid will win the league title and end their four year wait for a major trophy on June 17.

On May 12, 2007, despite not having Robinho and Beckham on the pitch (due to separate yellow cards given in the previous match against Sevilla) Real Madrid took over first place in the La Liga for the first time all season by defeating Espanyol 4-3, coming back from 1-3 first half deficit. Los Blancos were able to avoid a 3-3 draw thanks to a 89th minute goal by Gonzalo Higuaín.

The Sunday after Real won their epic battle with Espanyol, Barça dropped points with a 1-1 draw to struggling Betis. By virtue of their superior head to head record, Real Madrid sat at the top of La Liga, with four crucial games left to play.

The following Sunday, Real managed to beat Recreativo 2-3 at the Nuevo Colombino. With the score tied at 2-2, Real Madrid looked set return the lead back to rivals Barcelona until Roberto Carlos scored at the end of the match from a Fernando Gago assist and the squad left Huelva with just three games left to play. The remaining three were Deportivo, Zaragoza and Mallorca.

On May 26, 2007, Real Madrid did another excellent match to defeat Deportivo 3-1 at the Bernabéu. This victory made it six wins in a row for Real Madrid. Goals from Sergio Ramos, Raúl and Ruud van Nistelrooy secured the win. That victory left Real with only two games left to play and with hopes and morale reaching a high point in Real's dressing room, Capello and Calderón began to believe that Real was going to win the league title.

On June 9, 2007, Real played against Zaragoza at La Romareda. The match got off to a bad start when Real Madrid were forced to change their lineup some minutes before the start of the match when young defender Miguel Torres got injured in the warm up, tearing his hamstring. Zaragoza led Real 2-1 near the end of the match while Barcelona were also winning against Espanyol 2-1. Real's title challenge looked to be over. However, a late Ruud Van Nistelrooy equalizer followed by a last minute Raúl Tamudo goal sprang Real Madrid's title hopes back into their favor. Sevilla were also held 0-0 away against Mallorca, which meant that a win at home against Mallorca would effectively secure Los Merengues their 30th Spanish league title.

The title was won on June 17, Real faced Mallorca at the Bernabéu, while Barcelona and Sevilla, the other title challengers, faced Gimn stic de Tarragona and Villarreal respectively. At half time Real were 0-1 down, while Barcelona had surged ahead into a 0-3 lead in Tarragona; however, three goals in the last half-an-hour secured Real Madrid a 3-1 win and their first league title since 2003. The first goal came from Reyes who scored after a good work from Higuaín. An own goal followed by another delightful goal from Reyes allowed Real to begin celebrating the title. Thousands of Real Madrid fans began going to Plaza de Cibeles to celebrate the title.

Real Madrid recently signed a three-year deal with betting company Bwin.com in June, announcing a shirt deal at the same time that saw Benq Siemens replaced by Bwin.com on the front. The 2007-08 shirts made their first appearance during their title celebration on June 17, 2007.]

[2007-08 season

On August 25, Real Madrid kicked off the season in a derby against city rivals Atlético Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu. It was a highly entertaining display from both sides but Real managed to win 2-1, with goals from Raúl and Wesley Sneijder for Real while Kun Agüero scored for Atletico. It was a great start for Real as they showed skill and that they were adapting to the new style of play Bernd Schuster had brought in.On August 28, Antonio Puerta, player of the Sevilla FC died in the hospital after three days in the hospital. The Santiago Bernabeu Trophy (where Real Madrid was about to play against Sporting Lisbon) was cancelled in honor of Antonio Puerta. On September 2, Real Madrid managed to win 5-0 against Villarreal in El Maadrigal, with 2 goals from Sneijder, 1 from Raul, 1 from van Nistelrooy and 1 from Guti. Real extended their winning streak to 3 after they beat Almeria at home before earning a well deserved 1-1 against Valladolid with Saviola scoring the equalizer three minutes from time.

Real Madrid's players celebrate their 2008 Supercopa de Espa a win.Four days later, Real remained unbeaten as they beat Betis 2-0 at the Bernabeu with goals from Raul and an amazing bicycle kick from Julio Baptista. Real continued their unbeaten run under Schuster by beating Getafe 1-0 away to ensure The Whites remain at the summit of the La Liga.

Real Madrid has closed out its best fiscal year in history after recording €351 million in ordinary revenue -a 20% increase compared to last year- and €83 million in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization -a 43% increase compared to the 2005/06 fiscal year.[5]
Real started their European Campaign well, beating German side Werder Bremen 2-1 at home thanks to goals from Raul and Ruud Van Nistelrooy, however they lost in the first knockout round against Roma, with a score of 4-2.

On the 9th of December it was announced that Bernd Schuster had been sacked as manager, and that ex-Tottenham Hotspur F.C. manager Juande Ramos would replace him.]

Also, Granero

[RAUL94]

Cheers. I was suprised by that as well, cam_fifa09 was the first one to do one 2-3 weeks ago or something like that.

Granero is awesome, he should get a lot of games.

Will anyone make me graphics?

[DannyB]

Ronaldo

Usually he smiles on his mug shots

[RAUL94]

Yeah it kind of looks like he's blowing a kiss to the camera man. lol


I have two questions:

1) What should I do for the history? Re-write it from the club website? Re-write it from wiki?

2) Should I do a few pre-season matches on 09? If so, who?

[T-Hawk94]

1) The club website, it's probably more accurate and includes more detail

2) You could play who they played in real life, or just teams you want to face lol

[RAUL94]

OK, I won't play the peace cup because it doesn't have half the teams.
I won't play the North American tour because it would be too easy.
I might play the Sociedad and the Borussia Dortmund games because they were centenary games for them,
I might play Shamrock Rovers because they were our first game but it might be too easy.
Rosenburg because it was the Santiago Bernabeu Trophy.

[RAUL94]

Sorry for the double post but I tried to get the history from the Madrid website but it said error and something else in Spanish if someone could get itfor me it would be highly appreciated.

[Mark]

Nice start! But get rid of the White border round the graphics

[NGreat]

Good luck on this mate!

When did Madrid buy Granero? I was gonna get him for my Liverpool Team.. He's like the next Alonso.. God i HATE Madrid..
