Discipline. Sacrifice. Few clubs embody these tenets like Real Madrid. Their relentless pursuit of success has made them the biggest institution in world football - but how was that identity built, and does it fit in the modern game? Andy is joined by Miguel Pereira, author of The Greatest: Real Madrid's Never Ending Story , to reveal the power, politics and mythology behind Los Blancos. From the shadow of Francisco Franco to the iconic eras shaped by Santiago Bernabéu and Florentino Pérez, they explore how the club’s obsession with star power has driven both its greatest triumphs and deepest tensions.
