The Real Madrid Handbook is an entertaining compendium of fascinating facts, quotes, games, stories, personalities and trivia from the biggest club team on the planet.

He relates how the stunning success in European football in the mid-1950s to the early 1960s was one of the factors which helped to ease Spain's integration into Europe and examines the club's rise to become one of the most skilful and dominant countries in the European and, indeed, the global game over the last thirty years. Fascinating, informative, irreverent and insightful, The Real Madrid Handbook is the perfect guide to the history of this extraordinary club.
