Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid: Head-to-Head record

One of the most famous derbies in Spain.

Real Madrid and Atletico have squared off loads of times, and there have been some intense moments in their games. The majority of them have included fights, which has led to people engaging in filthy battles rather than playing football.

It has a long history in Madrid. Los Blancos are the more popular club than Atlético de Madrid, with 15 Champions League trophies to its name.

It all started in 1902 when the Madrid Foot-Ball Club were founded. They were the most powerful club in Spain at the time. However, the capital of Spain continued to merge both clubs until they formed two separate clubs. Athletic Club Madrid were 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.

The rivalry began in Spain and gained international attention in 1959 when two clubs from the same city met in the semi-finals of the European Cup, which Real Madrid won 2-1. Since then, both clubs have developed a love-hate relationship, most likely hate because of their on-field antics. The Madrid derby is the second most famous derby in Spain after El Clasico.
