Within the trophy room at the Bernabeu, the spoils of a century's achievements provide indisputable evidence of football's conquistadores rubbing the world's noses in the dirt. They include 29 league titles, 9 European Cups, 17 Spanish Cups, 2 UEFA Cups, and 3 World Club Championship titles. The story of Real Madrid is, however, much more than the mere sum of its achievements. The club has always attracted the biggest names in the game, and for every Figo, Zidane, Ronaldo, or Beckham, there is a legend from the past. White Storm charts the history of the club from its foundations to the golden period of Di Stefano and Puskas, through the "hippy years," to the modern embodiment of Madridismo. It ends with an analysis of the Beckham impact, the disintegration of the Florentino Perez regime, and a look at what the future might hold for the world's most famous club.
Bílá bouře načrtává historii klubu od jeho založení po zlatý věk Di Stéfana a Puskáse, přes „hippícká léta“ až k nejnovějšímu ztělesnění madridismu – Raúlovi – a končí analýzou příchodu Davida Beckhama a otázkou, co by mohl znamenat pro budoucnost klubu.
