Barcelona and Manchester United may wish to dispute the observation, but Real Madrid are the world's greatest football club.Setting emotion and preferences aside,the facts speak for themselves.Within the trophy room,the gold and silver spoils of a hundred years wink and shimmer in the tasteful lighting - indisputable evidence of football's conquistadores rubbing the world's noses into the dirt.They include twenty-eight League titles,nine European Cups,twelve Spanish Cups,two UEFA Cups and two World Club Championship titles.Their stunning victory in this year's Champions League (then 2002) dispelled any lingering doubts as to their supremacy,and set the club up nicely for the century ahead.
The story of Real Madrid's first one hundred years is,however,much more than the mere sum of its achievements.Behind the shine of the trophies there is the darker side of the club's association with fascism - its role as the pure-white ambassador of Franco's vision of a country focused exclusively on the virtues of its capital city.More than anything else,almost thirty years after Franco's death,Real Madrid still represent the bullish concept of 'Madridismo' - the idea that nothing else really matters outside the solid walls of the Bernabeu.
'WHITE STORM' charts the history of the club from its foundations to the golden period of Di Stefano and Puskas,from the 'hippy years' to the latest embodiment of Madridismo - Raul.Don't miss it.These things only come along every hundred years . . .
