History
Early years (1897–1945)
Real Madrid s origins go back to when football was introduced to Madrid by the academics and students of the
Institución libre de enseñanza, which included several
Cambridge and
Oxford University graduates. They founded
Football Club Sky in 1897, playing on Sunday mornings at Moncloa. It split into two clubs in 1900:
New Foot-Ball de Madrid and
Club Español de Madrid.
[8] On 6 March 1902, after a new Board presided by
Juan Padrós had been elected, Madrid Football Club was officially founded.
[3] Three years after its foundation, in 1905,
Madrid FC won its first title after defeating
Athletic Bilbao in the
Spanish Cup final. The club became one of the founding sides of the
Royal Spanish Football Federation on 4 January 1909, when club president
Adolfo Meléndez signed the foundation agreement of the Spanish FA. After moving between grounds the team moved to the
Campo de O'Donnell in 1912.
[9] In 1920, the club's name was changed to Real Madrid after
King Alfonso XIII granted the title of
Real (Royal) to the club.
[10]
In 1929, the first
Spanish football league
was founded. Real Madrid led the first league season until the last
match, a loss to Athletic Bilbao, meant they finished runners-up to
Barcelona.
[11] Real Madrid won its first League title in the
1931–32 season. Real won the League again the following year, becoming the first side to have won the championship twice.
[12]
On 14 April 1931, the arrival of the
Second Spanish Republic
caused the club to lose the title Real and went back to being named as
Madrid Football Club. Football continued during the Second World War,
and on 13 June 1943 Madrid beat
Barcelona 11–1 in the second leg of a semi-final
[13] of the
Copa del Generalísimo, the Copa del Rey having been renamed in honour of
General Franco. It has been suggested that Barcelona players were intimidated by police,
[14]
including by the director of state security who "allegedly told the
team that some of them were only playing because of the regime's
generosity in permitting them to remain in the country."
