44 free Real Madrid trivia questions with answers. Real Madrid have won more European Cups than anyone, and the details behind the trophies are the good part: the king who added the crown to the crest, the republic that took it off, the 7-3 final at Hampden, the team nicknamed after the Beatles, and the pig's head that greeted Luís Figo. This quiz runs 49 questions from the club's 1902 founding through Santiago Bernabéu's revolution and the five-in-a-row side, the Quinta del Buitre, the Galácticos, La Décima and the Zidane treble, to Bellingham, Mbappé and Xabi Alonso, plus the stadium, the records, the kits and El Clásico. It starts with questions any football fan can answer and works up to ones only a Madridista would know. Every answer has been checked against reference sources, shown under each question once you answer, so it works for a Champions League night or a football round at pub trivia.
