==Popular culture== Real Madrid was the featured club in the second installment of the ''[[Goal! (film)|Goal!]]'' football movie trilogy, ''[[Goal! 2: Living the Dream...]]'' (2007). The film follows former [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United]] star Santiago Muñez as he is first scouted and then signed by Real Madrid for the 2005–06 season. The film's creators wanted to put emphasis on the changes in Muñez's life after his move to Madrid. Production was done with the full support of UEFA, allowing the film crew to use many real life players in cameo roles. Real Madrid squad members featured in the film included [[Iker Casillas]], [[Zinedine Zidane]], [[David Beckham]], [[Ronaldo (Brazilian footballer)|Ronaldo]], [[Roberto Carlos]], [[Raúl (footballer)|Raúl]], [[Sergio Ramos]], [[Robinho]], [[Michael Owen]], [[Míchel Salgado]], [[Júlio Baptista]], [[Steve McManaman]] and [[Iván Helguera]]. Non-Real Madrid players to make cameo appearances included [[Ronaldinho]], [[Thierry Henry]], [[Lionel Messi]], [[Samuel Eto'o]], [[Andrés Iniesta]], [[Pablo Aimar]], [[Freddie Ljungberg]], [[Cesc Fàbregas]] and [[Santiago Cañizares]]. In the film, both [[Florentino Pérez]] and [[Alfredo Di Stéfano]] presented the fictional player Muñez to the club after his signing.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0473360/ |title=Goal! 2: Living the Dream...

The film was originally produced in Spanish, but has been dubbed for their worldwide fanbase. The book ''White Storm: 100 years of Real Madrid'' by [[Phil Ball (writer)|Phil Ball]] was the first English-language history of Real Madrid. Published in 2002, it talks about the most successful moments of the club during its first centenary, having been translated into various languages. In late 2011, Real Madrid released a digital music album, entitled ''Legends'', and a remix of the club's anthem, "Himno del Real Madrid," was released as the first single from the album.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.realmadrid.com/cs/Satellite/en/1330071539323/noticia/Noticia/Real_Madrid_launches__Legends__digital_music_album.htm |title=Real Madrid launches ''Legends'' music album |publisher=Real Madrid CF |date=2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111105214329/http://www.realmadrid.com/cs/Satellite/en/1330071539323/noticia/Noticia/Real_Madrid_launches__Legends__digital_music_album.htm |archive-date=5 November 2011}}</ref> ===Real Madrid TV=== [[Real Madrid TV]] is an encrypted [[digital television]] channel, operated by Real Madrid and specialising in the club.
