Famous Spanish football clubs

If a fan of football ask which championshipfor today is the strongest, then you will without any doubt answer that this is the championship of Spain. Spanish football clubs are always one of the main contenders for the conquest of 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 an unofficial top 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 likeAre they 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 thethe strongest not only in Spain, but all over the world. Since ancient times, "Real" was a favorite not only in the national championship, but also in the international arena. Most recently, he set 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)!

Out of 26 people playing in the team, 21 are in favor of their national teams.

In the local arena, the success of "Real" in recent timesnot so good - the club became the champion for the last time in 2012, because other Spanish clubs 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 footballclubs, but a couple of giants in this championship are "Real" and "Barcelona". Catalans 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.

In contrast to the "Real", "Barcelona" won the LeagueChampions only four times, but it is worth noting that these four times just fit in the past decade, while the success story of "creamy" stretched for many years. "Barcelona" is famous for its unforgettable attacking trio, shortly called the MSN, which stands for Messi-Neimar-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 here, and you should look at a few more teams.

Madrid Atletico Madrid

This is a club that can not yet come outto a 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 "Atlético" can not be overlooked: 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".

One of the best universal players plays hereattack 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 the semi-giant of Spain are alreadyare 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".

It is a club-phenomenon, which once in historywon 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 fact is that there are hardly any great world-class performers here, and if they are, they do not stay long. For example, this year Sevilla has already sold one of the strongest supporting midfielders of the world 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 created the incredible - 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,about which it is necessary to speak necessarily. 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 have received an impressivesponsorship, invested a lot of money in transfers, but almost did not fly to 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, andalso 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 attractsto itself attention good and not the most stable performances. What is only the fact that in 2012, "Villarreal" in one season, took part in the Champions League and flew to the second Spanish division! Naturally, in a year the club returned, but this development of events is actually a rarity.

Another interesting fact is that the "Villarreal" does not haveno major trophies, we can only note the victory in 2005 in the Intertoto Cup. But this trophy can not be called serious, since even the UEFA Cup (now the Europa League) is not particularly 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.
