Famous Spanish football clubs

If a football fan wants to ask which championship is the most powerful today, then you will be answered without any doubt that this is the championship of Spain. Spanish football clubs are always one of the main contenders for winning the largest international trophies, they have recently dominated and won the most cups, they are played by the strongest football players of the planet. Even if we take the unofficial three of the strongest clubs on the planet, two of them will be Spanish - Barcelona and Real (if you are interested, then the third is the German club - Bayern Munich).

However, what are the Spanish football clubs so good? What trophies do they win and how often? What kind of players play there? It's time to consider some of the strongest teams of the Spanish championship.

Madrid Real Madrid

"Royal Club" is rightfully considered one of the strongest not only in Spain, but also in the whole world. Since ancient times, "Real" was a favorite not only in the national championship, but also in the international arena. Most recently, he put an incredible record: in the last season, the Madridists won the Champions League, and did it for the eleventh time (so often this trophy was won by no one)!

Of the 26 people who play in the team, 21 are in favor of their national teams.

In the local arena, the success of the "Real" in recent times is not so good - the champion became the club for the last time in 2012, because other Spanish clubs have gained serious momentum. In 2014, "Real" won its 19th Cup of Spain, which is also an impressive achievement. And, naturally, it is worth noting that such world stars as Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale and, of course, Cristiano Ronaldo perform here. But what other Spanish football clubs are there that make "Real" competition?

Catalan Barcelona

There are various famous Spanish football clubs, but a couple of giants in this championship are "Real" and "Barcelona". The Catalans have dominated Spanish football in the last decade, before they were not as impressive and influential as the Madridists. But still managed to collect 24 victories in the championship of Spain and 28 victories in the Cup of Spain.

Unlike Real Madrid, Barcelona won the Champions League only four times, but it's worth noting that these four times just fit in the past decade, while the success story of the creamy has stretched for many years. "Barcelona" is famous for its unforgettable attacking trio, shortly called MCH, which stands for Messi-Neymar-Suarez. These three Latin American players of the attacking line inspire fear in the whole of football Europe. These are the strongest Spanish football clubs. The list, however, does not end there, and you should look at a few more teams.

Madrid "Atletico"

This is a club that can not yet reach the level with the two giants described above, but struggles to do it. And these efforts are quite noticeable, because before the championship in 2014, the club last won the championship of Spain in 1996.

The rise of "Atletico" is impossible not to notice: in 2010 the club suddenly won the Europa League, in 2012, repeated the success, in 2013, left out of the business of two giants in the cup, and in 2014 - and in the championship. In this case, twice in the last three years, "Atletico" went to the Champions League final and twice lost to Madrid "Real".

Here plays one of the best universal players of the attack, Antoine Grizmann, one of the most promising midfielders of Koke's creative plan, and also one of the strongest defenders in the world Diego Godin. So the Spanish football club "Real Madrid" is no longer the sole king of the capital.

Sevilla

Well, the giants and semi-giant of Spain have already been considered, but will there be at least one worthy football name in this country? Spanish football clubs are full, but not all of them deserve attention. And if you remember another team, except for the previous three, then it should be "Sevilla".

This is a club-phenomenon, which once in history won the championship of Spain - in 1946. With the Cup things are better - just this trophy went to the club five times, and most recently not so long ago - in 2010.

What is phenomenal in this team? The thing is that there are almost never any great world-class performers here, and if they exist, they do not stay long. For example, this year, "Seville" has already managed to sell one of the strongest supporting midfielders Grzegorz Kryhovyak, as well as his best scorer Kevin Gameiro. But at the same club for two years in a row - in 2006 and 2007 - won the UEFA Cup. And in the last three years he did an incredible thing - all this time, it was Sevilla that won the Europa League, the second prestigious trophy in Europe after the Champions League.

Valencia

That's all really outstanding clubs in Spain, which is worth talking about. But this does not mean that there is no one else in this country to play football. There are still some clubs that have good prospects in the future if they move in the right direction. For example, "Valencia".

"Bats" a couple of years received impressive sponsorship, invested a lot of money in transfers, but almost flew into the second league. Now the club has realized that money is not the main thing, therefore it relies on young talents such as Paco Alcácer, Jose Luis Gaia and João Cancela.

"Valencia" has six championship titles, as well as seven cups, but all this is the merit of the past - the last time the club won the local championship in 2004, and the cup - in 2008. However, with the right approach, this team has a great future.

"Villarreal"

This is a very interesting team that attracts attention with good and not the most stable performances. What is only the fact that in 2012, "Villarreal" in one season participated in the Champions League and flew to the second Spanish division! Naturally, in a year the club returned, but this development of events is in fact a rarity.

Another interesting fact is that Villarreal have no big trophies, we can only note the victory in the 2005 Intertoto Cup. But this trophy can not be called serious, since even the UEFA Cup (now the Europa League) is not very much respected and honored, although this trophy is in second place in importance after the Champions League. What can we say about such a championship? But, nevertheless, the "submarine" deserves attention much more than other Spanish clubs, which were not mentioned in this article at all.
