"Bro, do you even Madridismo?" - A Historical, Cultural & Philosophical Primer of Real Madrid CF

I have some memorabilia from that match posted above if anyone is interested I can dig it out and take some photos

 

On February 5th, 1984, Butragueno made his debut with Real Madrid.

A year later, again, on February 5th, another number 7 of Real Madrid was born in Funchal, Portugal. We all know his name, right?

 

God i miss him

 

I was re watching some Real Madrid old videos and i saw this. Second leg semi final CL 2000 at Munich Olympic. Bayern fans holding this banner ...

REAL BANKRUPT(?) 400,000,000 (USD?)



I forgot how much in debt Real was when Perez became the president (Ridiculous comparing to the present financial statue of the club) .
Anyway despite the debt we beat them dramatically while they had beaten us 4-1 and 4-2 in the group stage.
This was my favorite CL season.

 

Yeah it's an interesting subject for me. I did not know that it was being organized by Hoeneß campaign. Thought of it as a simple trolling by Bayern fans.

 

With due respect, the greatest Real Madrid goalkeeper in history is not Iker Casillas. I am not putting Iker down. I actually believe he himself would be proud of being number 2.

Years ago, I went to Barcelona's museum. They had his shoes on display. That said something about Zamora's greatness!

what? he is Spain's greatest ever keeper, how is he not the greatest?

Some people.....

 

You are talking about Iker or Zamora?

 

Iker, obviously, you know the guy that won the world cup as captain and euros, twice...

 

You just passed off two opinions as a fact in one sentence to criticize someone who had a very valid opinion. Some people indeed.

 

Your saying he is not? smh.....

 

Last player who scored 5 in one match was Morientes in a 7-0 win against Las Palmas in 2002. Today is his birthday. Happy birthday El Moro.

 

Zamora is one of five greatest goalkeepers ever played. Iker is great, but he does not get near the absolute elite.

 

IMO I would go with Iker, but there is a reason the best La Liga goalkeeper trophy is named after Zamora and that Zamora is considered one of the top goalkeepers of the past century (ahead of Schmeichal, who is the best keeper I have seen play). Not sure why you make it seem so clear cut.

 

No he is not lmao

Is he better than Banks? Yashin? Zoff? Buffon? Casillas? Maier? Schmeichel? Neves? Dasayev? Shilton?

Zamora was good, but not as great as is claimed by you, when the award was named back in 1958 there wasn't many Spanish keepers to really choose from, Zamora being the stand out took the distinction, but in his career he was a drunk, a bum and a thug.

He was great for Barcelona and Espanyol by all accounts by not to the lofty heights of which we have seen keepers achieve in the last 55 odd years.

 

nice article:

Guys quick question I thought this was the best place. What are your views on Real dropping the cross because of bank deal? I mean it just comes across as religious intolerance.

 

Only thing about our logo that I miss, is the purple stripe. Don't know why they changed it to a royal blue.

Just like my Lakers, it use to be purple and now the away jerseys are blue.
