The year 2024 can be divided into two parts for Real Madrid. The first part was successful, with victories in La Liga and the Champions League, while the second was less joyful due to a 0-4 defeat to Barcelona. Despite this, Real Madrid was named the best club in the world for the past year.
Details: This recognition was granted by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS). Real Madrid accumulated 441 points in the ranking, surpassing their closest rival, Bayer, by 57 points. Third place was claimed by current Europa League champions Atalanta.
Reminder: Real Madrid has previously been named the best club in the world four times: in 2000, 2002, 2014, and 2017. Following their defeat to Barcelona in the Super Cup, the club will not be making transfers in the winter, a decision influenced by the club president Florentino Pérez.
