10 Reasons Real Madrid Are The Best Side In Europe

9. Immense Support

Another reason why Real Madrid can be considered to be the greatest side in Europe is their immense support. Even with the recent success of rivals Atletico Madrid, Real have commanded the majority of support in the capital, and Spain in general for decades. Their Bernabeu stadium is one of the biggest in the world and always creates a fantastic atmosphere with the stands full of enthusiastic fans. Last season they recorded the second highest attendance in terms of occupied seats in La Liga, with an average of 84.3% seats full each game. Considering the stadium holds over 85,000 people that is a staggering amount of fans each week. Real Madrid, just like rivals Barcelona and English legends Manchester United, is a worldwide brand and attracts supporters from all continents. Real has over 2,000 official supporters clubs worldwide and it is clear to see why. They have played host to the world's biggest names for decades and this always draws in fans, especially those new to the game. Rivals Barcelona currently have Lionel Messi, another world star, but they haven't made any big signings recently to entice new fans. Differently, Real Madrid continue to make a host of signings to keep the fans interested. Football fans love to see the best players in the game and by supporting Real Madrid they get to do that each and every season.
