José Alfredo Aráuz Pineda

There are two different football clubs that are famous around the world. They have been famous for many years. People who are fans of these two different teams know that they are rivals. I’m a strong fan of one of these two teams, and I know it’s important its history. Are you a strong fan of one of these two teams? Do you know what the most important things that these teams have are? If you don’t know what they are, you should begin to investigate about it. History and the most important things that a big football team has is something that every fan in this world should know. Real Madrid and Manchester United have some differences and similarities: history, championships, and players.
The first one is the history. As you can see, Real Madrid is a team from Spain, but Manchester United is a team from England. The history between these teams is different. The history of Real Madrid is more interesting than the history of Manchester United. Real Madrid has 106 years since it began in 1902. This team has had important players who are important people as members of FIFA and UEFA. These organizations are the most important in the world because they organize the different championships and games of different teams around the world. Real Madrid was the first football team in Spain. This team has had many stadiums in Spain in many places. They are always looking for the best thing because it is the richest team around the whole world. Manchester United also has a big and interesting history like Real Madrid. Manchester is one of the most important teams around the world. This team has had important players. It was the third team in England. This team has built many stadiums in England because once they had a big problem with a stadium. There was taking place an important game but suddenly the stadium fell down. Many people died, and that is why they have been looking for a place where this tragedy is not going to happen again. Manchester is one of the richest team around the world, but it is not the richest because this place is taken by Real Madrid FC.
Second, they have similarities and differences in the different championships. In Europe, there is a championship which is called UEFA champions league. This is the most important championship in Europe. Real Madrid has won this championship nine times. It is the team that has won more UEFA champions league. Manchester has won this championship too, but they have won it only twice. They were in 1998 and 2008. In fact, it is the champion this year. These teams are from different places, so they have different championships. Real Madrid is the team that has won more championships in Spain. However, Manchester has won many championships in England, but it is not the team that has won more. There is a world club championship which takes place in China. Both Real Madrid and Manchester have won this championship. Real Madrid has won it 5 times and Manchester only once, but they are going to participate in this championship next November.
The third one is the different players. Real and Manchester have important players. Manchester prefers to hire players who are from Africa and countries from Europe like Sweden, Scotland, Croatia, Wales, of course England and so on. However, Real Madrid prefers to hire players who are from America (especially from Brazil and Argentina). Also, countries from Europe like France, Netherlands, Germany, England, and of course Spain. Real Madrid always has had the most famous players around the world. It is the richest team around the world, so they can hire the player that they want. Nowadays, Manchester has the most famous player around the world who is Cristiano Ronaldo. Real Madrid wants to hire this player, but Manchester doesn’t want to sell him. Manchester’s executives think that with Cristiano they will win many championships.
In conclusion, Real and Manchester are famous teams around the whole world. Of course, they have some similarities and differences which every fan should know. In my opinion if you are a big fan, you should begin to investigate what the different history and things they have. I’m a strong fan of Real Madrid and my dream is that one day, I will travel to Spain in order to see a soccer match between Real Madrid and another important soccer team. I can imagine this is the dream all the fans of the world. I can say that everything is possible and I have for sure that one day I will achieve this goal. If it is possible, I would like to see a soccer match between Real Madrid and Manchester United.
