Real Madrid Home Football Shirt 13 - 14The biggest match of the Spanish La Liga season so far took place at the weekend, and it didn't involve FC Barcelona. The Real Madrid football shirt spells success in Madrid, but this season the team has failed to beat cross-city rivals, Atletico Madrid, in the league, after a 2-2 draw away to their rivals on Sunday.

The Adidas designed Real Madrid jerseys are the most stylish in world soccer history. Aligning the coolness of the three stripes with the history and success of the club makes sense. If you wear the Real Madrid kit you will be associated with glamour and style.

Adidas has kept the home jersey simple and effective, and the white kit says it all. The Real Madrid football shirt worn in away kits is a stylish blue, whereas the 3rd kit is a bold burnt orange color. As fans of the most successful Spanish club, you have a few nice options to choose from when supporting the team.

The elegant, all white home Real Madrid jerseys have been linked to success since the heady days of the 1950s. The club won 5 European Champions League trophies in a row and is still the most successful soccer club in Europe. Dominating Spain, Real Madrid was seen as the team of the country's dictator, Franco, and since the dictatorship as the team favored by Spanish King.

Since winning 2 Champions League trophies in 2000 and 2002, Real Madrid has been searching for success in Europe once again. Barcelona has dominated both Spanish and European football over the past decade. It is time Real Madrid found their way back to the pinnacle of the game once more.

Big Money Purchases to Increase Success

Presidents have always wielded immense power in Madrid. They are the men who sign players, and Real Madrid has purchased the best players in the world for 50 years. The 'Galactico' era of Zidane, Ronaldo, and Beckham didn't bring enough success, but the new regime is following a similar path.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale were purchased for world record sums in recent years. Real Madrid wants to buy the players with the biggest brands and personalities - not just the best players. They compete worldwide with Manchester United, Barcelona and Liverpool as the biggest soccer brands.

The Fight for the 2014 La Liga Title

The Spanish La Liga title race is the tightest in many years. Atletico Madrid has joined the party, fighting with Barcelona and Real Madrid for the La Liga trophy. It is a refreshing competition after years of dominance from the top two clubs.

After winning at Real Madrid earlier in the season, Atletico knew that a victory or draw last weekend would go a long way to helping them finish higher than their neighbors in the standings. In Spain, if two teams finish on the same points, the place is decided by head-to-head meetings. Atletico will have that in their favor.

How the Madrid Derby Played Out

Real Madrid stormed into an early lead with Benzema scoring a goal within a few minutes of the match starting. The rest of the first half was all Atletico pressure as they pushed for an equalizer. It came, as did another goal. Koke and Gabi scored goals to give Atletico a half time lead of 2-1 against their fiercest rivals.

One of the criticisms of Atletico Madrid this season has been on their insistence to stick with the same players and tactics. They play an aggressive match and use far fewer players than their rivals. In the second half of this match, and this season, the players started to tire.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a late equalizer for the match to finish 2-2. Barcelona won their match against Almeria 4-1, so the league standings remain tight. 3 points separate Real Madrid in first and Atletico Madrid in third.
