1. Real Madrid is the name of a team, not the name of a player.
2. In the sentence, "Real Madrid is a famous football player," the word "football" is not a noun. In this context, "football" is an adjective, because it modifies the noun "player."
In other contexts, however, the word "football" could be a noun. The context is what often determines the part of speech, not the word itself.
