The league fixtures of the month were a 2–2 home tie with Valencia (with a 90+2 backheel equalizer from Ronaldo), a 1–1 away tie with Valladolid , a 0–2 away defeat to Celta (that ruined Real's hopes for the title), and a 3–1 win over Espanyol on the last matchday. Madrid travelled away to Dortmund for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, and lost 2–0 after an impressive solo performance from Marco Reus. His efforts fell to fruition, however, as Madrid progressed into the semi-finals of the competition, where they would face last year's winners in Bayern Munich. Los Blancos then began their third Champions League group clash, this time against Italian side Juventus. Ronaldo opened the scoring, netting in the fourth minute, while Fernando Llorente equalized a mere ten minutes later for Juve, leveling the score at 1–1.
Madrid again won this game 0–2, with goals from Ronaldo and Di María, who scored in the 21st and 56th minutes respectively. This win meant Real had progressed into the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey. The team competed for a record 33rd La Liga title and entered the UEFA Champions League for the 17th successive season, competing for a record 10th title. Real Madrid's shirt sponsor for this season was Emirates, having replaced Bwin.com.

Madrid kicked off February with a disappointing 1–1 draw against fourth-placed Athletic Bilbao, with Jesé scoring the lone goal for Real. They finished on an even sourer note, as Ronaldo was sent off in the 75th minute. Goals from Ronaldo, Di María and Jesé gave the Madrid side the three points to climb up the La Liga table, along with going through the final two months of 2013 undefeated. Real Madrid began December against Olímpic de Xàtiva in the Copa del Rey round of 32, with the game ending 0–0. Real Madrid opened November with a tight 2–3 away win against Rayo Vallecano. Two goals from Ronaldo, along with one from Benzema, gave Madridistas the win.
The club established itself as a major force in both Spanish and European football during the 1950s and 60s, winning five consecutive and six overall European Cups and reaching a further two finals. This success was replicated on the domestic front, with Madrid winning twelve league titles in the span of 16 years. This team, which included Alfredo Di Stéfano, Ferenc Puskás, Francisco Gento, and Raymond Kopa, is considered by some in the sport to be the greatest of all time. The teams met again in the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League group stage, with Madrid winning 2–1 at home and drawing 2–2 away en route to their tenth title.

Real's second match was against Osasuna in the Copa del Rey round of 16, with the first leg being played at the Santiago Bernabéu. A 17th-minute goal from Benzema, along with a 60th-minute strike from youth star Jesé gave the Madrid side a 2–0 aggregate advantage heading into the second leg. Real faced Galatasary again in another Champions League group clash, this time at home, with Madrid winning 4–1.

The members of Real Madrid, called socios, form an assembly of delegates which is the highest governing body of the club. At the end of the 2009–10 season, the club's board of directors stated that Real Madrid had a net debt of €244.6 million, €82.1 million lower than the previous fiscal year.
Real Madrid presented their third kit for the 2013/14 season
In January 2016, documents pertaining to Bale's transfer were leaked which confirmed a world record transfer fee of €100,759,418. Real Madrid equalled their record signing in 2019, when the club signed Eden Hazard from Chelsea for a reported €115 million. The club's record sale occurred on 10 July 2018, when Juventus signed Cristiano Ronaldo for €117 million. Under his presidency, the club was rebuilt after the Civil War, and he oversaw the construction of the club's current stadium, Estadio Real Madrid Club de Fútbol (now known as the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu), and its training facilities Ciudad Deportiva. Additionally, during the 1950s former Real Madrid Amateurs player Miguel Malbo founded Real Madrid's youth academy, or "cantera," known today as La Fábrica. Beginning in 1953, he embarked upon a strategy of signing world-class players from abroad, the most prominent being Alfredo Di Stéfano.
Madrid had a chance to propel their lead over Barcelona, who had dominated the league in the previous seasons, should they beat Málaga. Barça suffered a shock defeat at the hands of Real Valladolid, and should Real win, the Madrid side would be seven points clear at the top over their fierce rivals. A strike from Ronaldo gave Madrid an early advantage, but many shots went amiss and the game finished in a close 0–1 victory to the Madrid side. Madrid officially kicked off 2014 in a La Liga home match against Celta de Vigo.
They were also drawn together in the 2016–17 quarter-finals; Real Madrid won 6–3 on aggregate after extra time and subsequently lifted the trophy. The following year, they met in the semi-finals, with Real Madrid again progressing 4–3. Until the 2018–19 season when they were twice defeated in Madrid by three-goal margins, Real's biggest loss at home in the Champions League had been at the hands of Bayern on 29 February 2000, 2–4. Raúl holds the record for most Real Madrid appearances, having played 741 first-team matches from 1994 to 2010. Iker Casillas comes second with 725 appearances, followed by Manuel Sanchis, Jr., having played 710 times. The record for a goalkeeper is held by Iker Casillas, with 725 appearances.
The club's major signing of the summer window was the long-awaited transfer of Gareth Bale from Tottenham Hotspur for €100 million. For the very first time this new kit uses a “melange” fabric which includes a cotton finish, helping to achieve the retro look that has been inspired by some of the club’s former jerseys whilst also featuring all of adidas’ latest technologies. The new Real Madrid away kit is available in official Real Madrid and adidas stores, online and in all good sports retailers. Real Madrid and Germany's Bayern Munich are two of the most successful clubs in the UEFA Champions League/European Cup competition, Real winning fourteen times and Bayern winning six times.
Goals from Neymar and Alexis Sánchez gave the Catalan side the lead, but a stoppage time goal from Jesé after a brilliant solo run by Ronaldo resulted in Barça only holding a one-goal deficit against Madrid. Los Blancos then travelled away to Elche, coming home with a 1–2 win with two goals from Ronaldo. Real Madrid started the summer without a manager, as José Mourinho departed to manage Chelsea.
Madrid faced Espanyol in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey, earning a 0–1 away result with a Benzema goal. Real then faced Real Sociedad at the Santiago Bernabéu, with Madrid almost finishing the match in the first half, putting away four goals. The goals before the break included a brace from Ronaldo, one from Benzema and one from Sami Khedira.
The 2009–10 season, however, was a transitional one as Madrid again finished second in the league, although this time amassing 96 points, the club's record at the time, and went out of the Champions League at the hands of Lyon. The season was marred by Cristiano Ronaldo's injury, that sidelined him for seven weeks, although he still topped the goalscoring charts with 33 goals, and Madrid became the highest scoring team in La Liga, with 102 goals. Real Madrid also had the misfortune to become the runners-up with the highest points total in the history of Europe's top five leagues, until surpassed by Liverpool's 97 points in 2018–19. Founded in 1902 as Madrid Football Club, the club has traditionally worn a white home kit since its inception. The honorific title real is Spanish for "royal" and was bestowed to the club by King Alfonso XIII in 1920 together with the royal crown in the emblem.
This was Carlo Ancelotti's first game in charge, with Madrid winning 6–0. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brace and Sami Khedira, Gonzalo Higuaín, Casemiro and Ángel Di María chipped in the other goals. Real Madrid also announced the sale of Raúl Albiol to Napoli for €11 million. The season was also marked by one of the best Clasicos ever, where Barcelona edged out a 4-3 win with three goals from Messi who broke di Stefano’s El Clasico goalscoring record. However, none of them took the league, as Atletico used the competition, and won the league with 3 points in front of both Barcelona and Real Madrid. Real Madrid has appeared in many football-based video games, namely in the FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer series.
