Throughout the 20th century, Real Madrid solidified its status as a powerhouse in Spanish football, consistently clinching La Liga titles and attracting top talents. The early 2000s ushered in the “Galácticos” era, featuring stars like Zinedine Zidane, Luís Figo, Ronaldo Nazário, and David Beckham. Under the leadership of presidents like Florentino Pérez and managers like Carlo Ancelotti, the club has continued to build upon its illustrious history.
