More than 8,500 futbol fans paid $30 just to watch the famous Spanish club work out yesterday at Home Depot Center in Carson. Real Madrid is more than a hundred years old. It has won the world championship of soccer three times and the European title nine times. Players include the legendary Ronaldo and media star David Beckham.

"It is the greatest feeding frenzy I have ever witnessed in my 25-year career," said Tim Leiweke, president and chief executive of the Anschutz Entertainment Group, which owns the Galaxy.
