There's no doubt that football is the biggest sport in the world. The game is watched by fans far and wide with many young children dreaming of one day playing in a packed out stadium in front of thousands of fans.  

Although most of the top teams play in Europe, with countries such as Spain, England, and Italy boasting some of the best leagues with world famous players, they don't actually have the best stadiums.

The biggest grounds are scattered across the globe, and here are the top 10.     

Santiago Bernabeu - Madrid, Spain

With a capacity of 81,044, Real Madrid's home stadium isn't even the biggest in Spain. It's still a fortress, though, and has hosted world class football since opening in 1944.

Some of the biggest names in the sport play there week in week out, with both Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale battling to bring another La Liga title back to Madrid.      

The Bernabeu has also been home to the likes of David Beckham, Luis Figo, and Zinedine Zidane, who all became Galacticos between 2000 and 2005.
