Real Madrid was named the Best Club of the 20th Century by FIFA on December 11, 2000. Florentino Pérez and Alfredo Di Stéfano were in charge of collecting the trophy, which was given during an international organization gala in Rome.
Real Madrid won with over 42% of the vote, surpassing both Manchester United and Bayern Munich, who came in second and third in the rankings with 9.69% and 9.18% of the vote, respectively.
This award recognized Real Madrid's successes up to that point and its importance in the development of football worldwide. Our club's record at that time included 8 European Cups, 2 Intercontinental Cups, 2 UEFA Cups, 2 Latin Cups, 27 Leagues, 17 Copas del Rey, 5 Spanish Super Cups, 1 League Cup and 1 Ibero-American Cup.
