The Real Madrid football shirt, a white Adidas jersey for home play and a blue or orange shirt for away competition, is the banner of not only an incredibly skilled football team, but also of the wealthiest and most valuable soccer club in the world. The team, which plays its home matches at the 85,454-capacity Santiago Benabeu Stadium in Madrid, supposedly sees a yearly revenue of €513Â million, which equates to roughly $708 million in American currency.
Needless to say, the Read Madrid club de futbol has ample fan support, and that support is likely only to grow larger in the coming weeks. Fans of Real Madrid are currently at a fever pitch of excitement as their team campaigns for victory in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) a fact that has made the Real Madrid UCL jersey 2013 2014 a big seller at Soccer Box in recent weeks and months.
UEFA Champion's League History
The current popularity of the Champion's League Real Madrid football shirt is hardly surprising. After all, the Real Madrid soccer club is currently campaigning to break its own record as the highest winning team in the history of the UEFA Champion's League competition.
As UEFA Champion's League history currently stands, Real Madrid has won the competition a record nine times. That fact alone would be enough to make the Real Madrid UCL jersey 2013 2014 a hot commodity item right now, if only because every Champion's League brings out fans who want to see Madrid bring their victory number to a nice round count of 10.
Another reason that a UCL-exclusive Real Madrid football shirt would be such a popular Soccer Box product right now is that Real Madrid, despite their domination of the UEFA Champion's League event, has not won a title at the competition in over a decade. In fact, Real Madrid's last Champion's League title came in 2002, and the team has been sitting with its count of nine victories ever since.
Still, despite the fact that players from Real Madrid have had to watch a slew of other teams win the Champion's League title in recent years, that doesn't mean that the football club is in any risk of losing its spot at the top of the totem pole. On the contrary, the team with the next highest UCL titles is Milan, and they haven't claimed the tournament since 2007.
Real Madrid Pushes for UEFA Domination in 2014
But while Real Madrid has spent the past decade watching other teams win its signature event from fierce national rival Barcelona to titans of English football like Chelsea and Manchester United the team is certainly ready to reclaim dominant glory in the tournament.
However, in order to attain a record-breaking 10th UEFA Champion's League victory and to simultaneously turn the Real Madrid UCL jersey 2013 2014 into a collector's item the Spanish soccer club will need to face down a bit of tough competition. Last week, Real Madrid entered the Champion's League semi-final 1st leg and faced last year's victors, Bayern Munich, for the chance to move on to the championship match. Fans and players alike can nearly taste another Champion's League trophy for Real Madrid.
Bayern Munich was not an easy opponent for the Spanish team to beat. Bayern Munich retained a high percentage of possession throughout the game. The German team has been nearly unstoppable this season, and went into the game having lost only three matches all year. Real Madrid doesn't have the best streak as of late however, despite not controlling the ball Real Madrid scored the only goal and go into the 2nd leg with a 1-0 lead.
This will be the fourth year in a row that the team has played in the semi-finals. In 2011, 2012, and 2013, Real Madrid was defeated in the semi-finals and narrowly kept out of championship contention. Despite the competition from Bayern Munich, fans are confident that this will be the year that Read Madrid breaks the streak and makes good on their promise (and their net worth) to achieve a milestone UEFA Champion's League victory.
