For years, Real Madrid's historic triumphs were symbolized by black-and-white footage, capturing their early dominance in European football, including six European Cups and the 1960 Intercontinental Cup. In 2024, however, the club's legacy is firmly established in full color, with their international titles commanding the footballing world in every conceivable format.

With their latest Intercontinental Cup victory over Pachuca in Doha, Real Madrid continues to reign supreme in global competitions. Since 2000, the club has amassed 15 titles in tournaments featuring the six FIFA Confederations. Despite a European drought between 2002 and 2014, Real Madrid’s influence surged after winning their 10th Champions League. From then on, the club has won six out of the last eleven Champions Leagues, dominating the Club World Cup and the recently revived Intercontinental Cup.

Real Madrid’s title collection, when viewed on a global scale, is unparalleled, with no other club coming close. The next-closest contender is Al-Ahly, the African football powerhouse, which boasts ten CAF Champions League titles since 2000 but has yet to reach a Club World Cup final. As Real Madrid sets its sights on matching Barcelona’s 14 Spanish Super Cups, their status as the best club of the 20th century continues to extend well into the 21st.
