Un artículo antes de Real Madrid

You wrote: los jugadores del Real Madrid, but it should be de Real Madrid, because one doesn't use the article in front of proper names of persons, organizations or places unless the article is a part of that name- like Los Estados Unidos.

Hola Leslie

The correct form is "los jugadores del Real Madrid." The article "del" (a contraction of "de" and "el") is used when talking about the belonging of something to a specific entity, as in this case, referring to the players who are part of the football team 'Real Madrid'.

Un saludo
