As is expected of any club so endeared by its fans, Real Madrid has formed a number of lasting rivalries with other Spanish teams.

Barcelona where fans from both sides turn out by the thousands to support their favorite team.

The origins of these heated rivalries date back to the 1930s, when Real Madrid as the royal football squad of the Spanish government, faced dissent from its former fans in light of the political strife in the area. Their rivals gained popularity basically overnight, as Real Madrid was seen as an avatar of the oppressive state government. However their unyielding skill saw Real Madrid a winning team, even after their government turned on them, with supporters on all sides suffering in the name of the game they loved.
If political controversy and cultural suppression can't stop these titans of the pitch, you can bet their fans will stop at nothing to show them the support they need to be triumphant in this year's Liga BBVA tournament.

The Rise of Real Madrid
In June of 2013, Carlo Ancelotti was appointed manager of Real Madrid alongside high profile assistants Zinedine Zidane and Paul Clement. Together, these former football all-stars will keep the most high profile team in the world of football running like the well-oiled machine that it is, and there is no doubt in fans minds that they have what it takes to keep Real Madrid at the top. Getting there in the first place, however, was no easy task.
Last year's Champions league saw Real Madrid drafted into the dreaded "group of death" along with Dortmand, Man City and Ajax -stiff competition; even for the seasoned players of Real Madrid. Finishing second isn't something the royal football club of Spain is used to, even after 112 years of playing. After losing to rival Barcelona in last year's La Liga tournament, tensions are higher than usual for the teams star players.
Captain and vice-captain Iker Casillas and Pepe will both be attending the World Cup this year, but right now they are focused on taking back their rightful place atop the throne of the Spanish national tournament. While they look to be unbeatable, the team remains focused on their goal, winning game after game and showing no signs of slowing down.
