Well i dont like real only because, they always have the games at his side why?.
-The first is the "Intimidation" Factor.
Every team that face madrid,have in mind that they are playing against an unbeatable oppoenent, the great madrid. Just tell me people, if you were in the shoes of tudor, or iuliano, and you have to defend your team against "raul","figo" "ronaldo", "zidane", "r carlos", . you will not be under heavy pressure?. All this player could be in his worst shape, but the defense´s lack of concentration do the difference.
-Because they have always the best players.
This is not bad, cuz every team want to have good players.But Madrid, everytime that a team have a good player, or have a player that is rising and is in his "moment", the offer stupids quantity of money to get them. The most of the time they dont need those players, but they want to have them, just to sell lots of that player shirt, or simply to have another big name in the "galaktik team". It is a monopoly.
-Because they are simply "Real Madrid".
I dont know why, but in real´s games, all the things go in the right way almost always. An unworthy penalty, a sloppy ball that fall in real possetion, or Simply a masterfully play of one of his players.They could do the worst of the games, and win!!.
To compliment, they really have good players, especially in attack, a good keeper and in my opinion, the best supporters in the bernabeu. They could be playing against the most boring team in the world, and the bernabeu is at his max capacity.

03/27/2003. Football is a contact sport and there is no questioning that those who play risk injury to themselves and in some instances to others. Injuries that occur as a result of no intent at playing the ball are inexcusable at all levels.
Yesterday D.C. United announced they did not plan to fine or to suspend Hristo Stoitchkov for his craven challenge on a 19-year old university student in an early afternoon scrimmage on Tuesday. An investigation by the league has begun; the results of which are expected by the beginning of next week.
Stoitchkov is about to begin his first season with three-time league champions D.C. United after helping his former club, the Chicago Fire, to MLS Cup and U.S. Open Cup titles in three seasons. What does Stoitchkov have in store for his new club once the season begins for United on April 12th?
On Tuesday the Bulgarian's two-footed tackle immediately snapped the right tibia and fibula of American University midfielder Freddy Llerena-Aspiazu. While the snapping sound and agonizing screams from the victim caused the stomachs of players and spectators to churn, and in some cases to spill over, the result of the unfortunate incident caused Llerena-Aspiazu immeasurable physical pain and may equal the end of the youngster's college soccer career.
Six minutes into the practice game United already had scored a goal. But a few minutes later the schoolboys leveled the score with a counterattack. Stoitchkov took umbrage at the equalizer and argued with the referee's assistant that the goal was offside. Immediately after the restart he ran fifteen yards and assaulted Llerena-Aspiazu's right leg as the youngster was preparing to trap the ball with his left foot.
In any match two-footed tackles are uncalled for, and the referee properly handed Stoitchkov a red-card ejection for the Bulgarian's "miscalculated" tackle. Llerena-Aspiazu's coach called the tackle "criminal," and Stoitchkov's ejection was made moot, however, when less than ten minutes after it had begun the scrimmage ended.
Aside from the horrific challenge and gruesome result of the play, something else that stands out is nothing was at stake in this match. Yet a player of Stoitchkov's caliber and experience resorted to villainous behavior. Even worse is the fact that Stoitchkov, as well as being a senior player, is an assistant coach with his new club! What type of example is he setting with that type of behavior? Is this how professionals are supposed to act toward nonprofessionals because they do not agree with a referee's assistant?
"I would probably have a tough time hitting him with any sort of official reprimand because of the competitive nature of the game," United manager Ray Hudson told the Washington Post. Hudson does not believe his assistant coach meant to hurt Llerena. "There was a flash point and a rash reaction. His pride has been shaken and he is remorseful. He has learned his lesson."
Stoitchkov has not yet spoken to the media about the incident. Through the club the 1994 FIFA Footballer of the Year said, "I am so sorry for this incident...I want to offer my sincere apologies to the kid, his family and his teammates."
Stoitchkov has been in contact with the victim and his family, and he is planning on visiting Llerena-Aspiazu in the hospital soon.
Despite his fiery temperament Stoitchkov was and remains shaken by the horrible event as Hudson's comments intimated. However, public manifestations of remorse and internal wrangling of emotions do not equal castigation. Has Stoitchkov really "learned his lesson?"
In my opinion D.C. United's decision to avoid the responsibility of punishing a player with an ignominious record of violence on the pitch should bring an enormous sense of discomfiture to the club's fans, to the league, to the Llerena family and to football in general.
Stoitchkov endeared himself to fans across the world with his delicious free kick goal against Germany during the 1994 World Cup and for his magnificent displays with Barcelona, but his heroic exploits on the pitch have been marred by unsavory feats as well.
The quick version of his bad-boy resume goes something like this:
*Received a lifetime ban for his part in a brawl during the Bulgarian Cup finals as a member of CSKA Sofia.
*Received a multi-game suspension for stomping on a referee's foot during his first season with Barcelona.
*Holds a La Liga record of eleven red cards as a member of Barcelona.
Let's update his resume to say:
*Snapped the tibia and fibula in a kid's leg because I was upset about a goal that may or may not have been offside in a game with absolutely no significance whatsoever.
Sure, maybe Major League Soccer will impose a suitable punishment—-although what sort of punishment IS suitable I do not know, but something is better than nothing—-against Stoitchkov after their investigation. But D.C. United's unwillingness to hit the Bulgarian with "any sort of official reprimand" is distressing. It displays a lack of courage on the part of the club's decision makers. Have some balls, United!
Best wishes to Freddy Llerena-Aspiazu for a full recovery.

Hristo Stoichkov has confessed that he still hates Real Madrid and that just the thought of them makes him feel sick.
The ex-Barcelona striker could not hide his disgust for the Catalan club's fiercest rival, even after spending two years in the United States.
"I will always hate Real Madrid," he said. "I would rather the ground opened up and took me under than accept a job with them.
"Barcelona is my passion. When i talk about them I talk about a great club and I will always be grateful for everything they did for me."
