The ultimate guide to Real Madrid. The Real Madrid Handbook is an
entertaining compendium of fascinating facts, match coverage,
stories, personalities and trivia from the biggest club team on the

league, and analyses the impact that the Republic, the Spanish
Civil War and the repressive authoritarian aftermath had on the

the mid-1950s to the early 1960s was one of the factors that helped

rise to become one of the most skilful and dominant teams in the
global game over the last thirty years. Fascinating, informative,
irreverent and insightful, The Real Madrid Handbook is the perfect
