Two of Spain’s biggest sporting powerhouses honored each other as soccer team Real Madrid debuted a large poster of Rafael Nadal earlier this week during a game against French team PSG at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

The poster said Vamos Real with a picture of Nadal in his trademark fist pump pose. Real Madrid, which happens to be Nadal's favorite team, defeated PSG 3-1.

Real Madrid is not the only group honoring Nadal’s achievements. The 16-time Grand Slam champion will be playing with a commemorative Babolat racquet, dubbed La Decima.

Nadal will next play in two weeks time in Acapulco, his first tournament since retiring with a hip injury during the quarterfinals of the Australian Open. He will drop to No. 2 next week thanks to Roger Federer's run in Rotterdam.
