And it has a long history in Madrid; Los Blancos is a more popular club than Atlético de Madrid, with 14 Champions League trophies to its name.

But it all started in 1902 when the Madrid Foot-Ball Club was founded, and it was the most powerful club in Spain at the time.

Athletic Club Madrid was founded in 1903, and they were financially aided by the parent club Athletic Club Bilbao, resulting in a rivalry between Atlético de Madrid and Madrid FC in Spain.
