Real Madrid, Named the World's Best Club: How Many Times Has It Won the Award

There's no doubt that Real Madrid is the best team in the world. Its history, achievements, and constant successes demonstrate year after year its superiority over other clubs around the globe. However, to confirm this position, the IFFHS has named Real Madrid as the best team of 2024.

This recognition is the fifth time the Meringue team has received it in its vast history.  After a historic year with the conquest of several titles, this recognition is the cherry on top of an excellent performance. With this award, the Meringue team has also tied with Barcelona as the most decorated clubs.

This recognition is the latest reward for a year where Real Madrid was clearly the dominant team. Delivering unbeatable soccer and crushing all its rivals, now there's no doubt about which is the best team in the world.  A feat that seems more common year after year for the Meringues.

A unique and unparalleled club

The Champions League, LaLiga, both Super Cups, and the Intercontinental Cup were the titles won by Real Madrid. These trophies highlight the great level the team managed to maintain for a year that continues to be remembered. The IFFHS recognition was the best way to conclude one of the best years in the team's history.

Surpassing Bayer Leverkusen and Atalanta, Real Madrid has once again demonstrated its supremacy. With 441 points, the merengue team crushed its rivals, who accumulated 384 and 380 points respectively.

Achieving this recognition for the fifth time in its history, 2024 has been on par with 2000, 2002, 2014, and 2017. While this season has presented problems for the team, this hasn't prevented it from continuing to be the dominant club of previous years.

The end of the discussion

If there was ever anyone who questioned the greatness of Real Madrid, this recognition has shown them exactly that. After obtaining this, the team is motivated to make 2025 an even better year than the last.
