A journey through the many lives of Real Madrid, arguably the most celebrated and supported football club in the world.

Renowned football writer and historian Miguel Lourenço Pereira reveals:

The massive global impact of Real Madrid on communities, culture and society
How the club was considered left-wing in 1930s Spain, with one president in exile and another shot by Franco's death squads
How the Santiago Bernabéu stadium helped the city of Madrid to redefine itself, and why the club wasn't allowed to move to a bigger ground
How Real Madrid helped create the European Cup and later became defined by it
Why they are both the most supported and hated club in Spanish football
Why the Madrid white shirt became so popular, even inspiring Don Revie to change Leeds United's kit in the 1960s

The Greatest paints a vivid portrait of the life and identity of a club like no other. It is a story that is about much more than silverware and success. Published in 2026.
