El Clásico or el clásico[1] (Spanish pronunciation: [el ˈklasiko]; Catalan: El Clàssic,[2] pronounced [əl ˈklasik]; «The Classic») is the name given to any football match between rival clubs FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. Originally referring to competitions held in the Spanish championship, the term now includes every match between the clubs, such as those in the UEFA Champions League and Copa del Rey. It is considered one of the biggest club football games in the world, and is among the most viewed annual sporting events.[3][4][5] A fixture known for its intensity, it has featured memorable goal celebrations from both teams, often involving mocking the opposition.[6][7]
The rivalry comes about as Madrid and Barcelona are the two largest cities in Spain, and they are sometimes identified with opposing political positions, with Real Madrid viewed as representing Spanish nationalism and Barcelona viewed as representing Catalan nationalism.[8][9] The rivalry is regarded as one of the biggest in world sport.[10][11][12] The two clubs are among the richest and most successful football clubs in the world; in 2014 Forbes ranked Barcelona and Real Madrid the world’s two most valuable sports teams.[4] Both clubs have a global fanbase; they are the world’s two most followed sports teams on social media.[13][14]
Real Madrid leads in head-to-head results in competitive matches with 101 wins to Barcelona’s 97 with 52 draws; Barcelona leads in exhibition matches with 20 victories to Madrid’s 4 with 10 draws and in total matches with 117 wins to Madrid’s 105 with 62 draws as of the match played on 16 October 2022. Along with Athletic Bilbao, they are the only clubs in La Liga to have never been relegated.

History
Santiago Bernabéu. The home fans are displaying the white of Real Madrid before El Clásico. Spanish flags are also a common sight at Real Madrid games.
Camp Nou. The home fans of FC Barcelona are creating a mosaic of the Catalan flag before El Clasico. The top right corner of the club’s crest also features a Catalan flag.
The conflict between Real Madrid and Barcelona has long surpassed the sporting dimension,[15][16] so much that elections to the clubs’ presidencies have been strongly politicized.[17] Phil Ball, the author of Morbo: The Story of Spanish Football, says about the match; «they hate each other with an intensity that can truly shock the outsider».[18]
As early as the 1930s, Barcelona «had developed a reputation as a symbol of Catalan identity, opposed to the centralising tendencies of Madrid».[19][20] In 1936, when Francisco Franco started the coup d’état against the democratic Second Spanish Republic, the president of Barcelona, Josep Sunyol, member of the Republican Left of Catalonia and Deputy to The Cortes, was arrested and executed without trial by Franco’s troops[17] (Sunyol was exercising his political activities, visiting Republican troops north of Madrid).[19] During the dictatorships of Miguel Primo de Rivera and especially Francisco Franco, all regional languages and identities in Spain were frowned upon and restrained. As such, most citizens of Barcelona were in strong opposition to the fascist-like regime. In this period, Barcelona gained their motto Més que un club (English: More than a club) because of its alleged connection to Catalan nationalist as well as to progressive beliefs.[21]
There’s an ongoing controversy as to what extent Franco’s rule (1939–75) influenced the activities and on-pitch results of both Barcelona and Real Madrid. Most historians agree that Franco did not have a preferred football team, but his Spanish nationalist beliefs led him to associate himself with the establishment teams, such as Atlético Aviación and Madrid FC (that recovered its royal name after the fall of the Republic). On the other hand, he also wanted the renamed CF Barcelona succeed as «Spanish team» rather than a Catalan one.[22][23] During the early years of Franco’s rule, Real Madrid weren’t particularly successful, winning two Copa del Generalísimo titles and a Copa Eva Duarte; Barcelona claimed three league titles, one Copa del Generalísimo and one Copa Eva Duarte. During that period, Atlético Aviación were believed to be the preferred team over Real Madrid. The most contested stories of the period include Real Madrid’s 11–1 home win against Barcelona in the Copa del Generalísimo, where the Catalan team alleged intimidation, and the controversial transfer of Alfredo Di Stéfano to Real Madrid despite his agreement with Barcelona. The latter transfer was part of Real Madrid chairman Santiago Bernabéu’s «revolution» that ushered in the era of unprecedented dominance. Bernabéu, himself a veteran of the Civil War who fought for Franco’s forces, saw Real Madrid on top not only of Spanish but also European football, helping create the European Cup, the first true competition for Europe’s best club sides. His vision was fulfilled when Real Madrid not only started winning consecutive league titles but also swept the first five editions of the European Cup in the 1950s.[24] These events had a profound impact on Spanish football and influenced Franco’s attitude. According to historians, during this time he realized the importance of Real Madrid for his regime’s international image, and the club became his preferred team until his death. Fernando Maria Castiella, who served as Minister of Foreign Affairs under Franco from 1957 until 1969, noted that «[Real Madrid] is the best embassy we have ever had.» Franco died in 1975, and the Spanish transition to democracy soon followed. Under his rule, Real Madrid had won 14 league titles, 6 Copa del Generalísimo titles, 1 Copa Eva Duarte, 6 European Cups, 2 Latin Cups and 1 Intercontinental Cup. In the same period, Barcelona had won 8 league titles, 9 Copa del Generalísimo titles, 3 Copa Eva Duarte titles, 3 Inter-Cities Fairs Cups and 2 Latin Cups.[22][23]
The image for both clubs was further affected by the creation of ultras groups, some of which became hooligans. In 1980, Ultras Sur was founded as a far-right-leaning Real Madrid ultras group, followed in 1981 by the foundation of the initially left-leaning and later on far-right, Barcelona ultras group Boixos Nois. Both groups became known for their violent acts,[17][25][26] and one of the most conflictive factions of Barcelona supporters, the Casuals, became a full-fledged criminal organisation.[27]
For many people, Barcelona is still considered as «the rebellious club», or the alternative pole to «Real Madrid’s conservatism».[28][29] According to polls released by CIS (Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas), Real Madrid is the favorite team of most of the Spanish residents, while Barcelona stands in the second position. In Catalonia, forces of all the political spectrum are overwhelmingly in favour of Barcelona. Nevertheless, the support of the blaugrana club goes far beyond from that region, earning its best results among young people, sustainers of a federal structure of Spain and citizens with left-wing ideology, in contrast with Real Madrid fans which politically tend to adopt right-wing views.[30][31]
1943 Copa del Generalísimo semi-finals
On 13 June 1943, Real Madrid beat Barcelona 11–1 at the Chamartín in the second leg of the Copa del Generalísimo semi-finals (the Copa del Presidente de la República[32] having been renamed in honour of General Franco).[33] The first leg, played at the Les Corts in Catalonia, had ended with Barcelona winning 3–0. Madrid complained about all the three goals that referee Fombona Fernández had allowed for Barcelona,[34] with the home supporters also whistling Madrid throughout, whom they accused of employing roughhouse tactics, and Fombona for allowing them to. Barça’s Josep Escolà was stretchered off in the first half with José María Querejeta’s stud marks in his stomach. A campaign began in Madrid. The newspaper Ya reported the whistling as a «clear intention to attack the representatives of Spain.»[35] Barcelona player Josep Valle recalled: «The press officer at the DND and ABC newspaper wrote all sorts of scurrilous lies, really terrible things, winding up the Madrid fans like never before». Former Real Madrid goalkeeper Eduardo Teus, who admitted that Madrid had «above all played hard», wrote in a newspaper: «the ground itself made Madrid concede two of the three goals, goals that were totally unfair».[36]
Barcelona fans were banned from traveling to Madrid. Real Madrid released a statement after the match which former club president Ramón Mendoza explained, «The message got through that those fans who wanted to could go to El Club bar on Calle de la Victoria where Madrid’s social center was. There, they were given a whistle. Others had whistles handed to them with their tickets.» The day of the second leg, the Barcelona team were insulted and stones were thrown at their bus as soon as they left their hotel. Barcelona’s striker Mariano Gonzalvo said of the incident, «Five minutes before the game had started, our penalty area was already full of coins.» Barcelona goalkeeper Lluis Miró rarely approached his line—when he did, he was armed with stones. As Francisco Calvet told the story, «They were shouting: Reds! Separatists!… a bottle just missed Sospedra that would have killed him if it had hit him. It was all set up.»[37]
Real Madrid went 2–0 up within half an hour. The third goal brought with it a sending off for Barcelona’s Benito García after he made what Calvet claimed was a «completely normal tackle». Madrid’s José Llopis Corona recalled, «At which point, they got a bit demoralized,» while Ángel Mur countered, «at which point, we thought: ‘go on then, score as many as you want’.» Madrid scored in minutes 31′, 33′, 35′, 39′, 43′ and 44′, as well as two goals ruled out for offside, made it 8–0. Juan Samaranch wrote: «In that atmosphere and with a referee who wanted to avoid any complications, it was humanly impossible to play… If the azulgranas had played badly, really badly, the scoreboard would still not have reached that astronomical figure. The point is that they did not play at all.»[38] Both clubs were fined 2,500 pesetas by the Royal Spanish Football Federation and, although Barcelona appealed, it made no difference. Piñeyro resigned in protest, complaining of «a campaign that the press has run against Barcelona for a week and which culminated in the shameful day at Chamartín».[39][40]
The match report in the newspaper La Prensa described Barcelona’s only goal as a «reminder that there was a team there who knew how to play football and that if they did not do so that afternoon, it was not exactly their fault».[41] Another newspaper called the scoreline «as absurd as it was abnormal».[34] According to football writer Sid Lowe, «There have been relatively few mentions of the game [since] and it is not a result that has been particularly celebrated in Madrid. Indeed, the 11–1 occupies a far more prominent place in Barcelona’s history. This was the game that first formed the identification of Madrid as the team of the dictatorship and Barcelona as its victims.»[34] Fernando Argila, Barcelona’s reserve goalkeeper from the game, said, «There was no rivalry. Not, at least, until that game.»[42]
Di Stéfano transfer
Alfredo Di Stéfano’s controversial 1953 transfer to Real Madrid instead of Barcelona intensified the rivalry.
The rivalry was intensified during the 1950s when the clubs disputed the signing of Alfredo Di Stéfano. Di Stéfano had impressed both Barcelona and Real Madrid while playing for Los Millionarios in Bogotá, Colombia, during a players’ strike in his native Argentina. Soon after Millonarios’ return to Colombia, Barcelona directors visited Buenos Aires and agreed with River Plate, the last FIFA-affiliated team to have held Di Stéfano’s rights, for his transfer in 1954 for the equivalent of 150 million Italian lira ($200,000 according to other sources[specify]). This started a battle between the two Spanish rivals for his rights.[43] FIFA appointed Armando Muñoz Calero, former president of the Spanish Football Federation as mediator. Calero decided to let Di Stéfano play the 1953–54 and 1955–56 seasons in Madrid, and the 1954–55 and 1956–57 seasons in Barcelona.[44][45] The agreement was approved by the Football Association and their respective clubs. Although the Catalans agreed, the decision created various discontent among the Blaugrana members and the president was forced to resign in September 1953. Barcelona sold Madrid their half-share, and Di Stéfano moved to Los Blancos, signing a four-year contract. Real paid 5.5 million Spanish pesetas for the transfer, plus a 1.3 million bonus for the purchase,[failed verification] an annual fee to be paid to the Millonarios, and a 16,000 salary for Di Stéfano with a bonus double that of his teammates, for a total of 40% of the annual revenue of the Madrid club.[45]
Di Stéfano became integral in the subsequent success achieved by Real Madrid, scoring twice in his first game against Barcelona. With him, Madrid won the first five editions of the European Cup.[46] The 1960s saw the rivalry reach the European stage when Real Madrid and Barcelona met twice in the European Cup, with Madrid triumphing en route to their fifth consecutive title in 1959–60 and Barcelona prevailing en route to losing the final in 1960–61.
Luís Figo transfer
Luís Figo’s transfer from Barcelona to Real Madrid in 2000 resulted in a hate campaign by some of his former club’s fans.
In 2000, Real Madrid’s then-presidential candidate, Florentino Pérez, offered Barcelona’s vice-captain Luís Figo $2.4 million to sign an agreement binding him to Madrid if he won the elections. If the player broke the deal, he would have to pay Pérez $30 million in compensation. When his agent confirmed the deal, Figo denied everything, insisting, «I’ll stay at Barcelona whether Pérez wins or loses.» He accused the presidential candidate of «lying» and «fantasizing». He told Barcelona teammates Luis Enrique and Pep Guardiola he was not leaving and they conveyed the message to the Barcelona squad.[47]
On 9 July, Sport ran an interview in which he said, «I want to send a message of calm to Barcelona’s fans, for whom I always have and always will feel great affection. I want to assure them that Luís Figo will, with absolute certainty, be at the Camp Nou on the 24th to start the new season… I’ve not signed a pre-contract with a presidential candidate at Real Madrid. No. I’m not so mad as to do a thing like that.»[47]
The only way Barcelona could prevent Figo’s transfer to Real Madrid was to pay the penalty clause, $30 million. That would have effectively meant paying the fifth highest transfer fee in history to sign their own player. Barcelona’s new president, Joan Gaspart, called the media and told them, «Today, Figo gave me the impression that he wanted to do two things: get richer and stay at Barça.» Only one of them happened. The following day, 24 July, Figo was presented in Madrid and handed his new shirt by Alfredo Di Stéfano. His buyout clause was set at $180 million. Gaspart later admitted, «Figo’s move destroyed us.»[48]
On his return to Barcelona in a Real Madrid shirt, banners with «Judas», «Scum» and «Mercenary» were hung around the stadium. Thousands of fake 10,000 peseta notes had been printed and emblazoned with his image, were among the missiles of oranges, bottles, cigarette lighters, even a couple of mobile phones were thrown at him.[49] In his third season with Real Madrid, the 2002 Clásico at Camp Nou produced one of the defining images of the rivalry. Figo was mercilessly taunted throughout; missiles of coins, a knife, a whisky bottle, were raining down from the stands, mostly from areas populated by the Boixos Nois where he had been taking a corner. Among the debris was a pig’s head.[50][51]
Recent issues
In 2005, Ronaldinho became the second Barcelona player, after Diego Maradona in 1983, to receive a standing ovation from Real Madrid fans at the Santiago Bernabéu.
During the last three decades, the rivalry has been augmented by the modern Spanish tradition of the pasillo, where one team is given the guard of honor by the other team, once the former clinches the La Liga trophy before El Clásico takes place. This has happened in three occasions. First, during El Clásico that took place on 30 April 1988, where Real Madrid won the championship on the previous round. Then, three years later, when Barcelona won the championship two rounds before El Clásico on 8 June 1991.[52] The last pasillo, and most recent, took place on 7 May 2008, and this time Real Madrid had won the championship.[53] In May 2018, Real Madrid refused to perform pasillo to Barcelona even though the latter had already wrapped up the championship a round prior to their meeting.[54] Real Madrid’s coach at the time, Zinedine Zidane, reasoned that Barcelona also refused to perform it five months earlier, on 23 December 2017, when Real Madrid were the FIFA Club World Cup champions.[55]
The two teams met again in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in 2002, with Real winning 2–0 in Barcelona and drawing 1–1 in Madrid, resulting in a 3–1 aggregate win for Los Blancos. The tie was dubbed by Spanish media as the «Match of the Century».[56]
While El Clásico is regarded as one of the fiercest rivalries in world football, there have been rare moments when fans have shown praise for a player on the opposing team. In 1980, Laurie Cunningham was the first Real Madrid player to receive applause from Barcelona fans at Camp Nou; after excelling during the match, and with Madrid winning 2–0, Cunningham left the field to a standing ovation from the locals.[57][58] On 26 June 1983, during the second leg of the Copa de la Liga final at the Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid, having dribbled past the Real Madrid goalkeeper, Barcelona star Diego Maradona ran towards an empty goal before stopping just as the Madrid defender Juan José came sliding in an attempt to block the shot and crashed into the post, before Maradona slotted the ball into the net.[57] The manner of Maradona’s goal led to many Madrid fans inside the stadium start applauding.[57][59] In November 2005, Ronaldinho became the second Barcelona player to receive a standing ovation from Madrid fans at the Santiago Bernabéu.[57] After dribbling through the Madrid defence twice to score two goals in a 3–0 win, Madrid fans paid homage to his performance with applause.[60][61] On 21 November 2015, Andrés Iniesta became the third Barcelona player to receive applause from Real Madrid fans while he was substituted during a 4–0 away win, with Iniesta scoring Barça’s third. He was already a popular figure throughout Spain for scoring the nation’s World Cup winning goal in 2010.[62]
A 2007 survey by the Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas showed that 32% of the Spanish population supported Real Madrid, while 25% supported Barcelona. In third place came Valencia, with 5%.[63] According to an Ikerfel poll in 2011, Barcelona is the most popular team in Spain with 44% of preferences, while Real Madrid is second with 37%. Atlético Madrid, Valencia and Athletic Bilbao complete the top five.[64]
The rivalry intensified in 2011, when Barcelona and Real Madrid were scheduled to meet each other four times in 18 days, including the Copa Del Rey final and UEFA Champions League semi-finals. Several accusations of unsportsmanlike behaviour from both teams and a war of words erupted throughout the fixtures which included four red cards. Spain national team coach Vicente del Bosque stated that he was «concerned» that due to the rising hatred between the two clubs, that this could cause friction in the Spain team.[65]
A fixture known for its intensity and indiscipline, it has also featured memorable goal celebrations from both teams, often involving mocking the opposition.[6] In October 1999, Real Madrid forward Raúl silenced 100,000 Barcelona fans at the Camp Nou when he scored before he celebrated by putting a finger to his lips as if telling the crowd to be quiet.[6][66] In 2009 Barcelona captain Carles Puyol kissed his Catalan armband in front of Madrid fans at the Bernabéu.[6] Cristiano Ronaldo twice gestured to the hostile crowd to «calm down» after scoring against Barcelona at the Camp Nou in 2012 and 2016.[6] In April 2017, Messi celebrated his 93rd-minute winner for Barcelona against Real Madrid at the Bernabéu by taking off his Barcelona shirt and holding it up to incensed Real Madrid fans – with his name and number facing them.[6] Later that year, in August, Ronaldo was subbed on in the first leg of the Supercopa de España, proceeded to score in the 80th minute and took his shirt off before holding it up to Barça’s fans with his name and number facing them.[67]
The passion of the rivalry has extended to women’s football, although Real Madrid Femenino was only formed officially in 2020 whereas FC Barcelona Femení is 30 years older and had been one of the country’s leading clubs for much of that time. The second leg of the UEFA Women’s Champions League quarter-finals between the clubs at Camp Nou on 30 March 2022 was attended by 91,553 spectators; at the time, this was the largest known attendance for a women’s football match since the 1971 Mexico–Denmark game (110,000).[68][69][70][71] Reigning continental champions Barça won 5–2 on the day and 8–3 on aggregate.[71] The attendance was later surpassed in the semi-finals match between Barcelona and VfL Wolfsburg.[68]
Player rivalries
László Kubala and Alfredo Di Stéfano
Until the early 1950s, Real Madrid was not a regular title contender in Spain, having won only two Primera División titles between 1929 and 1953.[72] However, things changed for Real after the arrival of Alfredo Di Stéfano in 1953, Paco Gento in the same year, Raymond Kopa in 1956, and Ferenc Puskás in 1958. Real Madrid’s strength increased in this period until the team dominated Spain and Europe, while Barcelona relied on its Hungarian star László Kubala and Luis Suárez, who joined in 1955 in addition to the Hungarian players Sándor Kocsis and Zoltán Czibor and the Brazilian Evaristo. With the arrival of Kubala and Di Stéfano, Barcelona and Real Madrid became among the most important European clubs in those years, and the players represented the turning point in the history of their teams.[73][74][75]
With Kubala and Di Stéfano, a rivalry was born, but it would still take a long time to become what it is today.[76] This period was characterized by the abundance of matches in different tournaments, as they faced each other in all the tournaments available at the time, especially at the European level, where they met twice in two consecutive seasons. In their period, El Clásico was played 26 times: Real won 13 matches, Barcelona 10 matches, and 3 ended in a draw. Di Stéfano scored 14 and Kubala scored 4 goals in those matches.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi
The rivalry between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo between 2009 and 2018 has been the most competitive in El Clásico history, with both players being their clubs’ all-time top scorers. In their period, many records were broken for both clubs; the two players alternated as top scorers in La Liga and the Champions League during most seasons while they were with Real Madrid and Barcelona.[77] During this period, Ronaldo won the European Golden Shoe three times, while Messi won it five times. In addition, they won the Ballon d’Or four times each.[78]
During the nine years they played together in Spain, the two players scored a total of 922 goals, including 38 goals in El Clásico matches, 20 scored by Messi and 18 by Ronaldo. As of 2022, Ronaldo is the all-time top scorer in the UEFA Champions League, followed by Messi in the second place.[79] In addition, Messi is the all-time top scorer of La Liga, and Ronaldo is ranked second. Both players contributed to their club’s record for the most points in La Liga history, with 100 points in the 2011–12 and 2012–13 seasons, respectively.
The Messi–Ronaldo rivalry was characterized by a lot of goals scored by both players, in addition to many domestic and European titles that they were a major reason for achieving them. In their period, they contributed to the dominance of their clubs in Europe, as they won six Champions League titles in eight seasons, including five consecutive seasons between 2014 and 2018.[80] In El Clásico matches, Messi has scored 26 goals in his career which is a record. Ronaldo has scored 18, which is the joint second most in the fixture’s history alongside Di Stéfano. Ronaldo, on the other hand, has a slight advantage in terms of minutes per goal ratio, scoring a goal for every 141 minutes played in El Clásico matches. Only slightly behind is Messi, scoring a goal every 151.54 minutes.[81]
In their period, the rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona has been encapsulated by the rivalry between Ronaldo and Messi.[82] Following the star signings of Neymar and Luis Suárez by Barcelona, and Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema by Real, the rivalry was expanded to a battle of the clubs’ attacking trios, nicknamed «BBC» (Bale, Benzema, Cristiano) and «MSN» (Messi, Suárez, Neymar).[83] Ronaldo left Real for Juventus in 2018, and in the week prior to the first meeting of the teams in the 2018–19 La Liga, Messi sustained an arm injury ruling him out of the match. It would be the first time since 2007 that the Clásico had featured neither player, with some in the media describing it as the ‘end of an era’.[84][85] Barcelona won the match 5–1.[86]

Honours
The rivalry reflected in El Clásico matches comes about as Barcelona and Real Madrid are the most successful football clubs in Spain. As seen below, Real Madrid leads Barcelona 99 to 97 in terms of official overall trophies.[92] While the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup is recognised as the predecessor to the UEFA Cup, and the Latin Cup is recognised as one of the predecessors of the European Cup, both were not organised by UEFA. Consequently, UEFA does not consider clubs’ records in the Fairs Cup nor Latin Cup to be part of their European record.[93] However, FIFA does view the competitions as a major honour.[94][95] The one-off Ibero-American Cup was later recognised as an official tournament organised by CONMEBOL and the Royal Spanish Football Federation.[96]

El Clásico or el clásico[1] (Spanish pronunciation: [el ˈklasiko]; Catalan: El Clàssic,[2] pronounced [əl ˈklasik]; «The Classic») is the name given to any football match between rival clubs FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. Originally referring to competitions held in the Spanish championship, the term now includes every match between the clubs, such as those in the UEFA Champions League and Copa del Rey. It is considered one of the biggest club football games in the world, and is among the most viewed annual sporting events.[3][4][5] A fixture known for its intensity, it has featured memorable goal celebrations from both teams, often involving mocking the opposition.[6][7]
The rivalry comes about as Madrid and Barcelona are the two largest cities in Spain, and they are sometimes identified with opposing political positions, with Real Madrid viewed as representing Spanish nationalism and Barcelona viewed as representing Catalan nationalism.[8][9] The rivalry is regarded as one of the biggest in world sport.[10][11][12] The two clubs are among the richest and most successful football clubs in the world; in 2014 Forbes ranked Barcelona and Real Madrid the world’s two most valuable sports teams.[4] Both clubs have a global fanbase; they are the world’s two most followed sports teams on social media.[13][14]
Real Madrid leads in head-to-head results in competitive matches with 101 wins to Barcelona’s 97 with 52 draws; Barcelona leads in exhibition matches with 20 victories to Madrid’s 4 with 10 draws and in total matches with 117 wins to Madrid’s 105 with 62 draws as of the match played on 16 October 2022. Along with Athletic Bilbao, they are the only clubs in La Liga to have never been relegated.

History
Santiago Bernabéu. The home fans are displaying the white of Real Madrid before El Clásico. Spanish flags are also a common sight at Real Madrid games.
Camp Nou. The home fans of FC Barcelona are creating a mosaic of the Catalan flag before El Clasico. The top right corner of the club’s crest also features a Catalan flag.
The conflict between Real Madrid and Barcelona has long surpassed the sporting dimension,[15][16] so much that elections to the clubs’ presidencies have been strongly politicized.[17] Phil Ball, the author of Morbo: The Story of Spanish Football, says about the match; «they hate each other with an intensity that can truly shock the outsider».[18]
As early as the 1930s, Barcelona «had developed a reputation as a symbol of Catalan identity, opposed to the centralising tendencies of Madrid».[19][20] In 1936, when Francisco Franco started the coup d’état against the democratic Second Spanish Republic, the president of Barcelona, Josep Sunyol, member of the Republican Left of Catalonia and Deputy to The Cortes, was arrested and executed without trial by Franco’s troops[17] (Sunyol was exercising his political activities, visiting Republican troops north of Madrid).[19] During the dictatorships of Miguel Primo de Rivera and especially Francisco Franco, all regional languages and identities in Spain were frowned upon and restrained. As such, most citizens of Barcelona were in strong opposition to the fascist-like regime. In this period, Barcelona gained their motto Més que un club (English: More than a club) because of its alleged connection to Catalan nationalist as well as to progressive beliefs.[21]
There’s an ongoing controversy as to what extent Franco’s rule (1939–75) influenced the activities and on-pitch results of both Barcelona and Real Madrid. Most historians agree that Franco did not have a preferred football team, but his Spanish nationalist beliefs led him to associate himself with the establishment teams, such as Atlético Aviación and Madrid FC (that recovered its royal name after the fall of the Republic). On the other hand, he also wanted the renamed CF Barcelona succeed as «Spanish team» rather than a Catalan one.[22][23] During the early years of Franco’s rule, Real Madrid weren’t particularly successful, winning two Copa del Generalísimo titles and a Copa Eva Duarte; Barcelona claimed three league titles, one Copa del Generalísimo and one Copa Eva Duarte. During that period, Atlético Aviación were believed to be the preferred team over Real Madrid. The most contested stories of the period include Real Madrid’s 11–1 home win against Barcelona in the Copa del Generalísimo, where the Catalan team alleged intimidation, and the controversial transfer of Alfredo Di Stéfano to Real Madrid despite his agreement with Barcelona. The latter transfer was part of Real Madrid chairman Santiago Bernabéu’s «revolution» that ushered in the era of unprecedented dominance. Bernabéu, himself a veteran of the Civil War who fought for Franco’s forces, saw Real Madrid on top not only of Spanish but also European football, helping create the European Cup, the first true competition for Europe’s best club sides. His vision was fulfilled when Real Madrid not only started winning consecutive league titles but also swept the first five editions of the European Cup in the 1950s.[24] These events had a profound impact on Spanish football and influenced Franco’s attitude. According to historians, during this time he realized the importance of Real Madrid for his regime’s international image, and the club became his preferred team until his death. Fernando Maria Castiella, who served as Minister of Foreign Affairs under Franco from 1957 until 1969, noted that «[Real Madrid] is the best embassy we have ever had.» Franco died in 1975, and the Spanish transition to democracy soon followed. Under his rule, Real Madrid had won 14 league titles, 6 Copa del Generalísimo titles, 1 Copa Eva Duarte, 6 European Cups, 2 Latin Cups and 1 Intercontinental Cup. In the same period, Barcelona had won 8 league titles, 9 Copa del Generalísimo titles, 3 Copa Eva Duarte titles, 3 Inter-Cities Fairs Cups and 2 Latin Cups.[22][23]
The image for both clubs was further affected by the creation of ultras groups, some of which became hooligans. In 1980, Ultras Sur was founded as a far-right-leaning Real Madrid ultras group, followed in 1981 by the foundation of the initially left-leaning and later on far-right, Barcelona ultras group Boixos Nois. Both groups became known for their violent acts,[17][25][26] and one of the most conflictive factions of Barcelona supporters, the Casuals, became a full-fledged criminal organisation.[27]
For many people, Barcelona is still considered as «the rebellious club», or the alternative pole to «Real Madrid’s conservatism».[28][29] According to polls released by CIS (Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas), Real Madrid is the favorite team of most of the Spanish residents, while Barcelona stands in the second position. In Catalonia, forces of all the political spectrum are overwhelmingly in favour of Barcelona. Nevertheless, the support of the blaugrana club goes far beyond from that region, earning its best results among young people, sustainers of a federal structure of Spain and citizens with left-wing ideology, in contrast with Real Madrid fans which politically tend to adopt right-wing views.[30][31]
1943 Copa del Generalísimo semi-finals
On 13 June 1943, Real Madrid beat Barcelona 11–1 at the Chamartín in the second leg of the Copa del Generalísimo semi-finals (the Copa del Presidente de la República[32] having been renamed in honour of General Franco).[33] The first leg, played at the Les Corts in Catalonia, had ended with Barcelona winning 3–0. Madrid complained about all the three goals that referee Fombona Fernández had allowed for Barcelona,[34] with the home supporters also whistling Madrid throughout, whom they accused of employing roughhouse tactics, and Fombona for allowing them to. Barça’s Josep Escolà was stretchered off in the first half with José María Querejeta’s stud marks in his stomach. A campaign began in Madrid. The newspaper Ya reported the whistling as a «clear intention to attack the representatives of Spain.»[35] Barcelona player Josep Valle recalled: «The press officer at the DND and ABC newspaper wrote all sorts of scurrilous lies, really terrible things, winding up the Madrid fans like never before». Former Real Madrid goalkeeper Eduardo Teus, who admitted that Madrid had «above all played hard», wrote in a newspaper: «the ground itself made Madrid concede two of the three goals, goals that were totally unfair».[36]
Barcelona fans were banned from traveling to Madrid. Real Madrid released a statement after the match which former club president Ramón Mendoza explained, «The message got through that those fans who wanted to could go to El Club bar on Calle de la Victoria where Madrid’s social center was. There, they were given a whistle. Others had whistles handed to them with their tickets.» The day of the second leg, the Barcelona team were insulted and stones were thrown at their bus as soon as they left their hotel. Barcelona’s striker Mariano Gonzalvo said of the incident, «Five minutes before the game had started, our penalty area was already full of coins.» Barcelona goalkeeper Lluis Miró rarely approached his line—when he did, he was armed with stones. As Francisco Calvet told the story, «They were shouting: Reds! Separatists!… a bottle just missed Sospedra that would have killed him if it had hit him. It was all set up.»[37]
Real Madrid went 2–0 up within half an hour. The third goal brought with it a sending off for Barcelona’s Benito García after he made what Calvet claimed was a «completely normal tackle». Madrid’s José Llopis Corona recalled, «At which point, they got a bit demoralized,» while Ángel Mur countered, «at which point, we thought: ‘go on then, score as many as you want’.» Madrid scored in minutes 31′, 33′, 35′, 39′, 43′ and 44′, as well as two goals ruled out for offside, made it 8–0. Juan Samaranch wrote: «In that atmosphere and with a referee who wanted to avoid any complications, it was humanly impossible to play… If the azulgranas had played badly, really badly, the scoreboard would still not have reached that astronomical figure. The point is that they did not play at all.»[38] Both clubs were fined 2,500 pesetas by the Royal Spanish Football Federation and, although Barcelona appealed, it made no difference. Piñeyro resigned in protest, complaining of «a campaign that the press has run against Barcelona for a week and which culminated in the shameful day at Chamartín».[39][40]
The match report in the newspaper La Prensa described Barcelona’s only goal as a «reminder that there was a team there who knew how to play football and that if they did not do so that afternoon, it was not exactly their fault».[41] Another newspaper called the scoreline «as absurd as it was abnormal».[34] According to football writer Sid Lowe, «There have been relatively few mentions of the game [since] and it is not a result that has been particularly celebrated in Madrid. Indeed, the 11–1 occupies a far more prominent place in Barcelona’s history. This was the game that first formed the identification of Madrid as the team of the dictatorship and Barcelona as its victims.»[34] Fernando Argila, Barcelona’s reserve goalkeeper from the game, said, «There was no rivalry. Not, at least, until that game.»[42]
Di Stéfano transfer
Alfredo Di Stéfano’s controversial 1953 transfer to Real Madrid instead of Barcelona intensified the rivalry.
The rivalry was intensified during the 1950s when the clubs disputed the signing of Alfredo Di Stéfano. Di Stéfano had impressed both Barcelona and Real Madrid while playing for Los Millionarios in Bogotá, Colombia, during a players’ strike in his native Argentina. Soon after Millonarios’ return to Colombia, Barcelona directors visited Buenos Aires and agreed with River Plate, the last FIFA-affiliated team to have held Di Stéfano’s rights, for his transfer in 1954 for the equivalent of 150 million Italian lira ($200,000 according to other sources[specify]). This started a battle between the two Spanish rivals for his rights.[43] FIFA appointed Armando Muñoz Calero, former president of the Spanish Football Federation as mediator. Calero decided to let Di Stéfano play the 1953–54 and 1955–56 seasons in Madrid, and the 1954–55 and 1956–57 seasons in Barcelona.[44][45] The agreement was approved by the Football Association and their respective clubs. Although the Catalans agreed, the decision created various discontent among the Blaugrana members and the president was forced to resign in September 1953. Barcelona sold Madrid their half-share, and Di Stéfano moved to Los Blancos, signing a four-year contract. Real paid 5.5 million Spanish pesetas for the transfer, plus a 1.3 million bonus for the purchase,[failed verification] an annual fee to be paid to the Millonarios, and a 16,000 salary for Di Stéfano with a bonus double that of his teammates, for a total of 40% of the annual revenue of the Madrid club.[45]
Di Stéfano became integral in the subsequent success achieved by Real Madrid, scoring twice in his first game against Barcelona. With him, Madrid won the first five editions of the European Cup.[46] The 1960s saw the rivalry reach the European stage when Real Madrid and Barcelona met twice in the European Cup, with Madrid triumphing en route to their fifth consecutive title in 1959–60 and Barcelona prevailing en route to losing the final in 1960–61.
Luís Figo transfer
Luís Figo’s transfer from Barcelona to Real Madrid in 2000 resulted in a hate campaign by some of his former club’s fans.
In 2000, Real Madrid’s then-presidential candidate, Florentino Pérez, offered Barcelona’s vice-captain Luís Figo $2.4 million to sign an agreement binding him to Madrid if he won the elections. If the player broke the deal, he would have to pay Pérez $30 million in compensation. When his agent confirmed the deal, Figo denied everything, insisting, «I’ll stay at Barcelona whether Pérez wins or loses.» He accused the presidential candidate of «lying» and «fantasizing». He told Barcelona teammates Luis Enrique and Pep Guardiola he was not leaving and they conveyed the message to the Barcelona squad.[47]
On 9 July, Sport ran an interview in which he said, «I want to send a message of calm to Barcelona’s fans, for whom I always have and always will feel great affection. I want to assure them that Luís Figo will, with absolute certainty, be at the Camp Nou on the 24th to start the new season… I’ve not signed a pre-contract with a presidential candidate at Real Madrid. No. I’m not so mad as to do a thing like that.»[47]
The only way Barcelona could prevent Figo’s transfer to Real Madrid was to pay the penalty clause, $30 million. That would have effectively meant paying the fifth highest transfer fee in history to sign their own player. Barcelona’s new president, Joan Gaspart, called the media and told them, «Today, Figo gave me the impression that he wanted to do two things: get richer and stay at Barça.» Only one of them happened. The following day, 24 July, Figo was presented in Madrid and handed his new shirt by Alfredo Di Stéfano. His buyout clause was set at $180 million. Gaspart later admitted, «Figo’s move destroyed us.»[48]
On his return to Barcelona in a Real Madrid shirt, banners with «Judas», «Scum» and «Mercenary» were hung around the stadium. Thousands of fake 10,000 peseta notes had been printed and emblazoned with his image, were among the missiles of oranges, bottles, cigarette lighters, even a couple of mobile phones were thrown at him.[49] In his third season with Real Madrid, the 2002 Clásico at Camp Nou produced one of the defining images of the rivalry. Figo was mercilessly taunted throughout; missiles of coins, a knife, a whisky bottle, were raining down from the stands, mostly from areas populated by the Boixos Nois where he had been taking a corner. Among the debris was a pig’s head.[50][51]
Recent issues
In 2005, Ronaldinho became the second Barcelona player, after Diego Maradona in 1983, to receive a standing ovation from Real Madrid fans at the Santiago Bernabéu.
During the last three decades, the rivalry has been augmented by the modern Spanish tradition of the pasillo, where one team is given the guard of honor by the other team, once the former clinches the La Liga trophy before El Clásico takes place. This has happened in three occasions. First, during El Clásico that took place on 30 April 1988, where Real Madrid won the championship on the previous round. Then, three years later, when Barcelona won the championship two rounds before El Clásico on 8 June 1991.[52] The last pasillo, and most recent, took place on 7 May 2008, and this time Real Madrid had won the championship.[53] In May 2018, Real Madrid refused to perform pasillo to Barcelona even though the latter had already wrapped up the championship a round prior to their meeting.[54] Real Madrid’s coach at the time, Zinedine Zidane, reasoned that Barcelona also refused to perform it five months earlier, on 23 December 2017, when Real Madrid were the FIFA Club World Cup champions.[55]
The two teams met again in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in 2002, with Real winning 2–0 in Barcelona and drawing 1–1 in Madrid, resulting in a 3–1 aggregate win for Los Blancos. The tie was dubbed by Spanish media as the «Match of the Century».[56]
While El Clásico is regarded as one of the fiercest rivalries in world football, there have been rare moments when fans have shown praise for a player on the opposing team. In 1980, Laurie Cunningham was the first Real Madrid player to receive applause from Barcelona fans at Camp Nou; after excelling during the match, and with Madrid winning 2–0, Cunningham left the field to a standing ovation from the locals.[57][58] On 26 June 1983, during the second leg of the Copa de la Liga final at the Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid, having dribbled past the Real Madrid goalkeeper, Barcelona star Diego Maradona ran towards an empty goal before stopping just as the Madrid defender Juan José came sliding in an attempt to block the shot and crashed into the post, before Maradona slotted the ball into the net.[57] The manner of Maradona’s goal led to many Madrid fans inside the stadium start applauding.[57][59] In November 2005, Ronaldinho became the second Barcelona player to receive a standing ovation from Madrid fans at the Santiago Bernabéu.[57] After dribbling through the Madrid defence twice to score two goals in a 3–0 win, Madrid fans paid homage to his performance with applause.[60][61] On 21 November 2015, Andrés Iniesta became the third Barcelona player to receive applause from Real Madrid fans while he was substituted during a 4–0 away win, with Iniesta scoring Barça’s third. He was already a popular figure throughout Spain for scoring the nation’s World Cup winning goal in 2010.[62]
A 2007 survey by the Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas showed that 32% of the Spanish population supported Real Madrid, while 25% supported Barcelona. In third place came Valencia, with 5%.[63] According to an Ikerfel poll in 2011, Barcelona is the most popular team in Spain with 44% of preferences, while Real Madrid is second with 37%. Atlético Madrid, Valencia and Athletic Bilbao complete the top five.[64]
The rivalry intensified in 2011, when Barcelona and Real Madrid were scheduled to meet each other four times in 18 days, including the Copa Del Rey final and UEFA Champions League semi-finals. Several accusations of unsportsmanlike behaviour from both teams and a war of words erupted throughout the fixtures which included four red cards. Spain national team coach Vicente del Bosque stated that he was «concerned» that due to the rising hatred between the two clubs, that this could cause friction in the Spain team.[65]
A fixture known for its intensity and indiscipline, it has also featured memorable goal celebrations from both teams, often involving mocking the opposition.[6] In October 1999, Real Madrid forward Raúl silenced 100,000 Barcelona fans at the Camp Nou when he scored before he celebrated by putting a finger to his lips as if telling the crowd to be quiet.[6][66] In 2009 Barcelona captain Carles Puyol kissed his Catalan armband in front of Madrid fans at the Bernabéu.[6] Cristiano Ronaldo twice gestured to the hostile crowd to «calm down» after scoring against Barcelona at the Camp Nou in 2012 and 2016.[6] In April 2017, Messi celebrated his 93rd-minute winner for Barcelona against Real Madrid at the Bernabéu by taking off his Barcelona shirt and holding it up to incensed Real Madrid fans – with his name and number facing them.[6] Later that year, in August, Ronaldo was subbed on in the first leg of the Supercopa de España, proceeded to score in the 80th minute and took his shirt off before holding it up to Barça’s fans with his name and number facing them.[67]
The passion of the rivalry has extended to women’s football, although Real Madrid Femenino was only formed officially in 2020 whereas FC Barcelona Femení is 30 years older and had been one of the country’s leading clubs for much of that time. The second leg of the UEFA Women’s Champions League quarter-finals between the clubs at Camp Nou on 30 March 2022 was attended by 91,553 spectators; at the time, this was the largest known attendance for a women’s football match since the 1971 Mexico–Denmark game (110,000).[68][69][70][71] Reigning continental champions Barça won 5–2 on the day and 8–3 on aggregate.[71] The attendance was later surpassed in the semi-finals match between Barcelona and VfL Wolfsburg.[68]
Player rivalries
László Kubala and Alfredo Di Stéfano
Until the early 1950s, Real Madrid was not a regular title contender in Spain, having won only two Primera División titles between 1929 and 1953.[72] However, things changed for Real after the arrival of Alfredo Di Stéfano in 1953, Paco Gento in the same year, Raymond Kopa in 1956, and Ferenc Puskás in 1958. Real Madrid’s strength increased in this period until the team dominated Spain and Europe, while Barcelona relied on its Hungarian star László Kubala and Luis Suárez, who joined in 1955 in addition to the Hungarian players Sándor Kocsis and Zoltán Czibor and the Brazilian Evaristo. With the arrival of Kubala and Di Stéfano, Barcelona and Real Madrid became among the most important European clubs in those years, and the players represented the turning point in the history of their teams.[73][74][75]
With Kubala and Di Stéfano, a rivalry was born, but it would still take a long time to become what it is today.[76] This period was characterized by the abundance of matches in different tournaments, as they faced each other in all the tournaments available at the time, especially at the European level, where they met twice in two consecutive seasons. In their period, El Clásico was played 26 times: Real won 13 matches, Barcelona 10 matches, and 3 ended in a draw. Di Stéfano scored 14 and Kubala scored 4 goals in those matches.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi
The rivalry between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo between 2009 and 2018 has been the most competitive in El Clásico history, with both players being their clubs’ all-time top scorers. In their period, many records were broken for both clubs; the two players alternated as top scorers in La Liga and the Champions League during most seasons while they were with Real Madrid and Barcelona.[77] During this period, Ronaldo won the European Golden Shoe three times, while Messi won it five times. In addition, they won the Ballon d’Or four times each.[78]
During the nine years they played together in Spain, the two players scored a total of 922 goals, including 38 goals in El Clásico matches, 20 scored by Messi and 18 by Ronaldo. As of 2022, Ronaldo is the all-time top scorer in the UEFA Champions League, followed by Messi in the second place.[79] In addition, Messi is the all-time top scorer of La Liga, and Ronaldo is ranked second. Both players contributed to their club’s record for the most points in La Liga history, with 100 points in the 2011–12 and 2012–13 seasons, respectively.
The Messi–Ronaldo rivalry was characterized by a lot of goals scored by both players, in addition to many domestic and European titles that they were a major reason for achieving them. In their period, they contributed to the dominance of their clubs in Europe, as they won six Champions League titles in eight seasons, including five consecutive seasons between 2014 and 2018.[80] In El Clásico matches, Messi has scored 26 goals in his career which is a record. Ronaldo has scored 18, which is the joint second most in the fixture’s history alongside Di Stéfano. Ronaldo, on the other hand, has a slight advantage in terms of minutes per goal ratio, scoring a goal for every 141 minutes played in El Clásico matches. Only slightly behind is Messi, scoring a goal every 151.54 minutes.[81]
In their period, the rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona has been encapsulated by the rivalry between Ronaldo and Messi.[82] Following the star signings of Neymar and Luis Suárez by Barcelona, and Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema by Real, the rivalry was expanded to a battle of the clubs’ attacking trios, nicknamed «BBC» (Bale, Benzema, Cristiano) and «MSN» (Messi, Suárez, Neymar).[83] Ronaldo left Real for Juventus in 2018, and in the week prior to the first meeting of the teams in the 2018–19 La Liga, Messi sustained an arm injury ruling him out of the match. It would be the first time since 2007 that the Clásico had featured neither player, with some in the media describing it as the ‘end of an era’.[84][85] Barcelona won the match 5–1.[86]

Honours
The rivalry reflected in El Clásico matches comes about as Barcelona and Real Madrid are the most successful football clubs in Spain. As seen below, Real Madrid leads Barcelona 99 to 97 in terms of official overall trophies.[92] While the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup is recognised as the predecessor to the UEFA Cup, and the Latin Cup is recognised as one of the predecessors of the European Cup, both were not organised by UEFA. Consequently, UEFA does not consider clubs’ records in the Fairs Cup nor Latin Cup to be part of their European record.[93] However, FIFA does view the competitions as a major honour.[94][95] The one-off Ibero-American Cup was later recognised as an official tournament organised by CONMEBOL and the Royal Spanish Football Federation.[96]

Эль Классико
Эль Класико (анг. The Clasic; исп. El Clasico), также известное как Дерби Испании (исп. El derbi Espanol) или Суперклассико (исп. El Superclasico) — так называются футбольные матчи между мадридским «Реалом» и каталонской «Барселоной». Конкуренция происходит и между Мадридом и Барселоной — двумя самыми большими городами в Испании.
Зарождение конкуренции.
С самого начала зарождения футбола в Испании два клуба являлись представителями столицы Испании («Реал Мадрид») и столицы провинции Каталония («Барселона»). Такой феномен противостояния со спортивной точки зрения уходит глубоко в социологию страны и политики.
Мадрид — место правительства и королевского семейства. Особенно в течение эры Francoist, это начинало представлять консервативные центростремительные силы. В 1902 году братьями Падросом и Хулианом Паласиосами был образонан футбольный клуб Мадрид (Madrid Football Club). 29 июня 1920 году король Испании присвоил клубу титул Королевский, что по-испански звучит как Real — отсюда нынешнее название клуба (Real Madrid).
С другой стороны почти все идеи того, что сформировали современную историю Испании — республиканизм, федерализм, анархизм, синдикализм и коммунизм — введен и стал прочным в Испании, главным образом через Каталонию. Также весь Fashion, независимо — одежда или искусство устремлялось брать корни в Барселоне на много лет раньше, чем они получили признание в Мадриде. В столице провинции также имелся свой профессиональный футбольный клуб, который был основан на три года раньше «королевского». Основатель клуба — Жоан Гампер — назвал открытый им клуб в честь города — Барселона (FC Barcelona).
В результате диктатур Примо де Ривера (Primo de Rivera) и, Франциско Франко (Francisco Franco), все местные языки и тождества были нахмурены и сдержаны. Тем временем Барселона становилась более, чем клубом (mes que un club — это нынешний девиз Барселоны) из-за своей предполагаемой связи в прогрессивных убеждениях. Как раз наоборот, для большинства каталонцев, а также многих других испанцев, Реал Мадрид считался самым главным клубом в стране, несмотря на то что в течение Испанской Гражданской Войны, многие участники клуба, такие, как Хосеп Синьол и Рафаэль Санчез Гуэрра страдали в руках националистов…
Конкуренция была усилена в течение 1950 годов, когда клубы соперничали в борьбе за Альфредо Ди Стефано. Ди Стефано произвел впечатление как на «Барселону» так и «Реал», пока он играл в клубе Депортиво Лос Миллонариос в Боготе, в течение забастовки игроков в его родной Аргентине. Как «Реал» так и «Барселона» пытались, подписать с ним контракт, но неразберихи возникли из-за самого Ди Стефано, который в это время перешел из Миллонариос в Ривер Плейт. Впоследствии, как «Барселона» так и «Реал Мадрид» верили, что они все-таки подпишут его. После вмешательства Барселоны ФА возвращанной в элтиу, Ди Стефано перешел в Реал.
Альфредо прекрасно вписался в состав Реала и стал одним из его символов. Это оценивалось дважды в его первой игре против «Барселоны». С ним, Мадрид сумел завоевать пять Кубков Европейских Чемпионов. В 1960 годах конкуренция между клубами достигла уже европейского уровня, когда они встретились дважды в розыгрыше Кубка Чемпионов. «Реал Мадрид» выиграл у «Барселоны» в 1960 году (затем Реал выиграл этот турнир), а в 1961 году успех уже праздновала Барселона (правда в финале каталонский клуб уступил Бенфике со счетом 3-2).
История, когда ведущие игроки Барселоны переходили в стан вечных соперников повторилась в 1988 году с Берндом Шустером и в 1994 году с Микаэлем Лаудрупом. В 2000 году конкуренция достигла пика, последующего после решения португальца Луиша Фигу, покинуть «Барселону» и подписать конктакт с «Реалом», на тот момент ставший самым дорогим в истории футбола.
Две команды вновь встретились в Лиге Чемпионов в полуфинале сезона 2001/2002. Тогда Реал победил (впоследствии он выиграл и турнир). Испанские и мировые СМИ признали этот матч стычкой столетия.
В чемпионате Испании сезона 2008/2009 (2 мая 2009 года) в матче 34 тура «Реал»-«Барселона», ставшим уже 154 Эль Классико, победу ожержала «Барселона», со счетом 2-6, установив рекорд результативности. До этого гостевой команде ни разу не удавалось забить шесть мячей в ворота Реала на Сантьяго Бернабеу. Этот матч решил судьбу титула чемпиона Испании — шансы «Реала» догнать «Барсу» стали только теоретическими (помимо того, что «Реалу» теперь нужно было только побеждать, также была необходима осечка «Барсы»).
К настоящему времени, Реал Мадрид является группой с бо́льшим, количеством фанатов в Испании (32.8%). Барселона следует за ним, с показателем 25.7%, согласно опросу, проведенному в мае 2007 года. Следующая группа в списке — Валенсия (5.3%).

В предверии сегодняшнего матча между Барселоной и Реалом хотелось бы немножко углубиться в историю противостояния этих великих клубов,поглубже изучить великое Эль Классико.
На сегодняшний день «Эль-Классико»,по мнению многих,является вторым по значимости футбольным событием сезона на клубном уровне после финала Лиги Чемпионов. Телеаудитория матчей между «Реалом» и «Барселоной» превышает даже телеаудиторию финала Лиги Европы.Противостояние этих двух клубов берет свое начало в 1902-ом году. Именно тогда, новорожденный «Реал» сыграл свой первый матч с «Барселоной», которой к тому времени исполнилось 3 года. «Реал» проиграл тот матч со счетом 3:1. Так зародилось величайшее противостояние двух клубов.
Мадрид—столица Испании, место проживания королевского семейства и заседаний правительства. В 1902-ом году два брата Хулиан и Падрос Паласиосы основали в городе футбольную команду и назвали её футбольный клуб Мадрида. Как же «Реал» стал «Реалом»? В 1920-ом году король Испании присвоил клубу титул «королевский», что в переводе на испанский язык звучит как «Real». Болельщики сегодня называют еще Реал: «галактикос» (внезнмные), «сливочные» (по цвету домашних футболок Реала)
С другой стороны баррикад находилась столица Каталонии Барселона, здесь футбольный клуб появился на три года раньше. Основатель клуба Жоан Гампер не стал долго ломать голову над названием и «окрестил» команду «Барселона».
Классическое противостояние двух испанских грандов как-то само собой сложилось исторически, как противостояние древних испанских территорий — Кастилии и Арагона, которое, с течением времени, трансформировалось в противостояние Испании и Каталонии. Каталонцы считают себя отдельной нацией, своеобразным государством в государстве, и постоянно подчеркивают, что Каталония, — это не Испания. В Испании множество провинций, но головную боль Мадриду доставляют только две, в которых сепаратистские настроения всегда были очень сильны, — Страна Басков и Каталония. Столицей Каталонии является город Барселона, у которой свое соперничество с Мадридом, Барселона — это город богемы, а Мадрид — индустриальный центр.

Домашняя арена футболистов Барселоны — «Камп Ноу»
Барселона — совершенно сумасшедший город, здесь творили Пабло Пикассо и Педро Альмадовар; «отец города» Антонио Гауди строил потрясающие, фантасмагорические архитектурные сооружения, самым известным из которых является Собор Святого Семейства (собор настолько необычен, что больше напоминает корабль чужих из одноименного фильма), и умер, попав под колеса трамвая. С тех пор трамвайное движение в Барселоне запрещено, а сам мэтр был похоронен под сводами Собора Святого Семейства, строительство которого так и не закончил. Вполне понятно, что в городе населенным сумасшедшими творцами, футбольная команда тоже должна быть сумасшедшей. Вот только Жоан Гампер, швейцарец прибывший в Барселону в 1899 году, этого еще не знал. Он дал объявление в газету о том, что набирает футбольную команду, и 29,11.1899 года состоялась официальная регистрация Футбольного Клуба Барселона. Первый свой матч новоиспеченная команда провела 8 декабря того же года против сборной английских моряков, и одержала победу со счетом 1:0.
Три года спустя в Мадриде был основан «Реал». Первый Чемпионат Испании был проведен в 1929 году, и победу в нем одержала «Барса». К тому времени противостояние двух клубов уже привлекало к себе самую многочисленную аудиторию на Пиренеях. К пятидесятым годам, когда в клубном футболе произошел настоящий переворот, мадридский «Реал» и «Барселона» имели твердую репутацию сильнейших клубов Испании, собрав в своих рядах сонм выдающихся футболистов того времени. Если эпоха «Реала» пятидесятых связана прежде всего с монструозной фигурой дона Сантьяго Бернабеу, то в «Барселоне» это были годы Ладислао Кубалы, проведшего в клубе 11 сезонов, и до сих пор считающегося лучшим футболистом «Барсы» всех времен.
Ладислао Кубала
Джокером Сантьяго Бернабеу был Альфредо ди Стефано, которого «Реал» завоевал в жесточайшем соперничестве с «Барселоной»
В 1959 году «Барса» становится чемпионом Испании, обойдя на финише чемпионата «Реал», имя которого гремит по всей Европе. В воротах сине-гранатовых стоит кипер сборной Испании Антонио Рамальетс, Кубале помогают Золтан Цибор и Шандор Кочиш из знаменитой венгерской команды волшебников, а координирует действия с тренерской скамейки Эленио «Маг» Эррера. Жребий Кубка Чемпионов сводит испанских грандов в полуфинале турнира, и «Барса» полна решимости одержать победу и остановить победный марш «Реала» по Европе. «Я привезу вам скальп «Реала», — обещает Эррера болельщикам. Но происходит непредвиденное, — Эррера уже по прибытию в Мадрид ссорится с Кубалой и Цибором, лидерами команды, и не выставляет их на матч. «Реал» побеждает 3:1. Ответная встреча состоялась 27 апреля 1960 года в «Барселоне», и собрала 130 000 зрителей.
Легенды «Реала» Ференц Пушкаш и «Барселоны» Луис Суарес
Люди стояли в проходах, залезали друг на другу на плечи, чтобы лучше видеть действо, а выход на поле мадридского «Реала» сопровождался таким грандиозным свистом, что футболисты невольно затыкали уши. Но Эррера снова поразил всех, не выставив Кубалу и Цибора, а «Реал» вновь одержал победу со счетом 3:1. Это был конец Эрреры в «Барселоне», болельщики которой могли простить все, кроме поражения от «Реала». Тренера каталонцев, одетого в неприметные одежды работника стадиона, вывели через запасной выход, но когда Эррера подъехал к дому, то не смог туда попасть, — дом был закидан камнями, а вокруг бродили тысячные толпы угрюмых болельщиков «Барсы», поджидавших тренера. Через месяц каталонцы выиграли Кубок Ярмарок, предвестник Кубка УЕФА, и установили уникальное достижение, сыграв в течение одного сезона в двух евротурнирах. Эррера делал все, чтобы болельщики забыли обиду. В конце сезона он вновь выиграл Чемпионат Испании, но администрация клуба признала, что дальнейшее пребывание Эрреры в Барселоне, просто-напросто опасно для его жизни, и расторгнуло контракт.

«Реал» тем временем выиграл свой пятый Кубок Чемпионов, а так как «Барса» выиграла Чемпионат Испании, то пути двух клубов снова пересеклись в одной восьмой самого престижного европейского турнира. Первый матч в Мадриде закончился вничью 2:2, а в Барселоне хозяева вырвали победу 2:1. Так «Барса» остановила «Реал»Главными конструкторами побед «Барсы» были югославский тренер Брочич и плеймейкер Луис Суарес, который в 1960 году получил«Золотой мяч». Эррера очень хотел видеть Суареса у себя, в результате чего «Интер» выложил за испанского футболиста 500 000 долларов, гигантские по тем временам деньги. Пройдя «Реал», каталонцы оказались в финале Кубка Чемпонов, где, неожиданно для всех, и, в первую очередь, для самих себя, проиграли «Бенфике» 2:3. Пришел конец эпохи Ладислао Кубалы, старые лидеры уходили из «Барсы», а новые не появлялись, и следующий чемпионский титул каталонцы завоевали лишь спустя 14 лет. В 1973 году каталонцы приобрели голландского нападающего Йохана Кройфа за 2,25 миллионов долларов (на тот момент. снова рекордное приобретение), на тренерский мостик пришел большой поклонник тотального футбола Ринус Михелс, и «Барса», выражаясь высокохудожественным литературным языком, обрела крылья. То, что произошло на поле стадиона «Сантьяго Бернабеу» в первый сезон Кройфа в «Барсе», навсегда войдет в историю.
Ринус Михелс
Кройф долго раздумывал, следует ли ехать в Мадрид, так как его жена была беременна; но в конце концов, все-таки решил ехать. Перед самым началом матча, Кройфу позвонили и сказали, что у него вот-вот должен появиться ребенок. «Это будет мальчик, — уверенно сказал Кройф в трубку, — назовите его Хорди». Хорди — имя главного каталонского святого. Мы не знаем, каково было состояние Кройфа, когда он выходил на поле «Сантьяго Бернабеу», мы знаем лишь то, что Кройф отличился сам, еще дважды ассистировал партнерам, а «Барса» «отгрузила» «Реалу» 5 безответных мячей.
Время шло, клубы по-прежнему ненавидели друг друга, болельщики конфликтовали при каждом удобном случае, а президенты, в основном через СМИ, обменивались колкими замечаниями. «Реал» выигрывал больше трофеев, но у каталонцев были свои поводы для гордости. Основной из них звучал так — у «Реала» нет своего стиля, «Реал» всегда рассчитывал на известные личности, а не на команду в целом, не существует понятия «футбол мадридского Реала», и одень футболистов королевского клуба в другие футболки, никто ни за что не догадается, что это играет «Реал». «Барса» же, в свою очередь, всегда была командой со стилем, узнаваемым и эффектным. Околофутбольные страсти постоянно клокотали в отношениях двух клубов.Испания — католическая страна, и оба клуба заручились поддержкой «наместника бога на Земле» — Папы Римского. Папа Римский (неважно кто на святом престоле), наверное, единственный человек в мире, имеющий на руках членские билеты обеих клубов. Девиз «Барселоны», — «Барса» больше, чем клуб!И своими действиями администрация клуба всегда демонстрировала полную солидарность с данным девизом. Кстати, Барселона единственная команда своего уровня, которая не имеет надписей титульных, гдавных и других спонсоров на своих футболках! (Sir Man). У «Барселоны» существует собственная сатирическая передача (своеобразные испанские куклы), посвященная жизни клуба.»Барселона» проводит конкурсы живописи, столь престижные, что однажды заявку на участие прислал сам Сальвадор Дали, и, наконец, «Барса» дошла до того, что совместно с фирмой Ford стала выпускать свой собственный автомобиль (авто «Барсы» называется Ford Barca Vintag).
Даже сейчас, когда «Реал» негласно признан самым популярным футбольным клубом мира, число socios (официально зарегистрированных членов клуба) у «Барсы» больше. Кстати, а кто-нибудь знает, что в катакомбах стадиона «Ноу Камп» находится маленький храм, на алтаре которого лежит сине-гранатовая футболка?
Саймон Купер в своей блестящей книге «Футбол против Врага» написал, что он спросил однажды одну каталонку, не увлекающуюся футболом, почему для нее важно, чтобы «Барса» обыграла мадридский «Реал»? Она ответила: «Франко убивал наших отцов и детей, а он любил Реал». У каждого свои причины для ненависти, но тема взаимоотношений генерала Франко и Каталонии, — отдельна и обособлена.
Диктатор обожал мадридский «Реал» (говорят, что он досконально помнил состав мадридского «Реала» практически в каждом матче сезона), и, естественно, ненавидел «Барсу», кроме всего прочего, провинция Каталония дольше всех сопротивлялась военному режиму Франко, а каталонское ополчение возглавлял тогдашний президент «Барселоны» (он трагически погиб в гражданской войне, и получил в Каталонии статус святого). Франко запретил каталонскую автономию и каталонский язык, он сжигал каталонские флаги и убивал каталонских лидеров. Единственное, что он не мог уничтожить из всего каталонского, — «Барсу». Во времена генерала Франко каталонцы могли лишь на стадионе «Ноу Камп» махать каталонскими флагами, и говорить между собой на родном языке. Как писал Купер, каталонцы не могли кричать, что Франко — убийца (если бы это кто-то услышал, результат был бы мгновенным, — расстрел), поэтому они кричали это в лица футболистов мадридского «Реала». Именно тогда, во времена диктаторства Франко, на «Ноу Камп» впервые появился огромный транспарант с надписью «Каталония. Не Испания!!!» (время от времени, эту надпись по-прежнему можно видеть на барселонском стадионе). «Барса» сама по себе настолько ценна для Каталонии, что каталонцы на вопрос «Что для вас значит Барса?», без колебаний отвечают: «Барса — это наше все!»
Перебежчики.
В последние годы наибольшую ненависть вызывают футболисты, по тем или иным причинам, поменявшие белый лагерь на сине-гранатовый, или наоборот. 28 мая 1995 года, Микаэль Лаудруп, бывший полузащитник «Барселоны», впервые приехал на «Ноу Камп» в качестве футболиста мадридского «Реала». Реакция стадиона была оглушительной, на трибунах пестрели плакаты с надписями «Иуда!» и «Не смей ступать на наш стадион!». Микаэль Лаудруп не смог выдержать психологический пресс и попросил замену. Перебежчики были и раньше, но они либо не были знаковыми футболистами, либо переходили из одного клуба в другой не напрямую, а через клуб-буфер (так поступил, допустим, Альберт Селадес, «Барса» продала его «Реалу», но футболист некоторое время поиграл за «Тенерифе»), чтобы избежать агрессивной реакции болельщиков и психологического давления на футболиста.
Самым первым известным перебежчиком считается легендарный испанский голкипер Рикардо Замора (приз самому молопропускающему голкиперу сезона в Испании до сих пор носит его имя), который в составе «Барсы» дебютировал в 1919 году в 18-летнем возрасте. Позже Замора поссорился с руководством клуба, и назло перешел в «Эспаньол», откуда потом перебрался в мадридский «Реал». Берндт Шустер, нынешний тренер донецкого «Шахтера», в Испании сумел побывать аж в составе трех вражеских лагерей: «Барселоне», «Атлетико» и «Реале». Но ни один из этих переходов не вызвал такого резонанса, как два последних: Луиса Энрике Мартинеса и Луиша Фигу. Луис Энрике, экс-игрок мадридского «Реала», 8 декабря 1996 года, вышел на «Сантьяго Бернабеу» в сине-гранатовой футболке. Болельщики «Реала» еще до матча по-своему готовились встретить Луиса Энрике. Впрочем, повторить давление, которое было на «Ноу Камп», им так и не удалось, и дело тут, пожалуй не в том, что мадридские фанаты более лояльны; просто обе команды на «Сантьяго Бернабеу» показали в тот вечер настоящий футбол экстра-класса, и все околофутбольные вещи автоматически отошли на задний план. Но никогда еще не случалось того, что произошло в первый приезд Луиша Фигу на свой бывший стадион.Интересно, что сезон спустя многие ожидали, что «Ноу Камп» отнесется к Фигу помягче. Куда там! В Фигу полетели даже свиные головы, а когда он был с мячом, «Ноу Камп» свистел, не переставая. С приходом на пост президента «Барселоны» Жоана Гаспара, болельщики грандов стали свидетелями шокоментальных сцен, — улыбаясь, президенты «Барсы» и мадридского «Реала», мирно беседовали в VIP-ложе. Ситуацию не поняли ни в Мадриде, не в Барселоне. Конечно, понятно, большой бизнес, и все такое, но все помнят, как общался с президентами мадридского «Реала» Мигель Нуньес, самый титулованный барселонский президент, — исключительно через прессу, используя убийственные для соперника аргументы.
«Барса» против «Реала», — это уже даже не футбол.
Это что-то большее. Понятно, что без «Барсы» не было бы того «Реала», который мы знаем сейчас, и наоборот. Ненависть тоже может быть признаком прогресса.
Это слово знают во всём футбольном мире. Этого матча ждут с огромным нетерпением. Для испанского футбола он не менее важен, чем финал национального Кубка или борьба за чемпионский титул. Побывать хотя бы на одном Эль-Классико, – значит, запомнить эту атмосферу на стадионе на всю жизнь. Количество зрителей телевизионных трансляций этого великого противостояния, как утверждают многие эксперты, превышает даже численность аудитории финала Лиги чемпионов.

Что это такое?
Эль-Классико – сердце футбола Испании. Так называют матчи между «Барселоной» и мадридским «Реалом».
Первое Эль-Классико
Мадрид – столица Испании. Здесь живёт королевская семья, а клуб «Реал» называют королевским. Мадрид – символ консерватизма государства, его незыблемости и твёрдости установленного порядка.
Город Барселона – столица Каталонии, провинции, где всегда господствовали настроения свободы и вольности. Здесь постоянно витает дух сепаратизма.
Мадридцы и каталонцы – две испанские противоположности. Неудивительно, что матчи между «Барселоной» и «Реалом» имеют особый подтекст. К тому же, оба клуба – многолетние лидеры национального первенства. Иным противостояние между ними быть просто не могло.
Футбольный клуб «Реал» основали в 1902 году братья Падрос и Хуан Паласиосы. А 29 июня 1920 года король Испании лично нарёк команду королевским титулом.
Каталонский клуб был организован на три года раньше Жоаном Гампером. С названием долго раздумывать не стали – столица провинции заслуживает быть увековеченной ещё и в футболе.
В 1902 году был сыгран первый матч между командами. «Барселона» на правах старшего по возрасту клуба выиграла со счётом 3:1.
История противостояния
Отношения между клубами всегда имели политический подтекст. Например, диктатор Франко был ярым болельщиком «Реала», знал наизусть состав команды и всячески её поддерживал. Но он же ненавидел Каталонию – свободолюбивую провинцию, которая дольше других диктатору сопротивлялась. В результате Франко запретил в Каталонии все признаки автономии: местный язык, флаг, атрибутику. Но футбольный клуб «Барселону» запретить он не мог. И матчи этой команды с «Реалом» стали для каталонцев единственно возможным продолжением борьбы за свободу. На стадионе и по сей день вывешивается баннер: Каталония – не Испания!».
Некоторые встречи были воистину драматическими.
В 1959 году «Барса» выигрывает чемпионат Испании во второй раз подряд, обойдя королевский клуб на самом финише. Тренирует команду знаменитый аргентинец Эленио Эррера, которого болельщики называли футбольным магом.
«Реал» и «Барселона» сошлись в полуфинале Кубка европейских чемпионов. Перед первым матчем в Мадриде Эррера пообещал привести домой «скальп «Реала». Но накануне он ухитрился поссориться с некоторыми ведущими футболистами и не выпустил их на поле. Снять скальп не получилось, – «Реал» убедительно выиграл со счётом 3:1.
Ответный матч вызвал огромный ажиотаж. Каталонцы жаждали реванша. Но Эррера снова не выпустил на поле бунтарей, а «Реал» снова выиграл с тем же счётом 3:1. Болельщики были готовы тренера разорвать. Со стадиона он смог выбраться, переодевшись в работника системы обслуживания арены. Но и домой попасть сразу не сумел, – дом был буквально окружён разгневанными каталонцами.
Дальнейшая работа в Барселоне стала для аргентинца опасной для жизни. Контракт был спешно разорван.
В 1973 году каталонская команда пробрела блиставшего тогда Йохана Кройфа. За голландца заплатили рекордную по тем временам сумму – 2, 25 миллионов долларов, но оно того, безусловно, стоило. На тренерский мостик пригласили тоже большого поклонника тотального футбола Ринуса Михелса. И вот – первая встреча с «Реалом» в Мадриде.
Как потом вспоминал Кройф, он долго думал, отправляться на матч или нет. Дело в том, что у голландца жена была вот-вот родить. Но Кройф всё-таки отправился на матч. Перед самой игрой Йохану позвонили и сообщили, что роды начались. Будущий отец вышел на поле буквально окрылённым, забил два красивейших гола и отдал две голевые передачи. «Барселона» победила со счётом 5:0.
В последнее время поединки между «Барселоной» и «Реалом» были интересны ещё и противостоянием двух сильнейших европейских футболистов – Лионеля Месси и Криштиану Роналду. Аргентинец никогда не изменял «Барсе», Криштиану долгое время радовал болельщиков в Мадриде. Но теперь зрелище немного потускнело: португалец покинул королевский клуб и ушёл в «Ювентус».
Кто чаще выигрывал?
На сегодняшний день команды сыграли между собой 278 матчей. Статистические данные выглядят так:
- 115 поединков выиграли каталонцы, 101 – королевский клуб;
- «Барселона» забила 483 гол, «Реал» – 451.
Больше всего голов было забито 13 апреля 1916 года в матче Кубка Испании. Тогда был зафиксирован счёт 6:6.
Самая крупная победа в истории Эль-классико
Самую громкую победу над извечными конкурентами одержал «Реал». В розыгрыше национального Кубка команды сошлись в полуфинале. В первом домашнем матче каталонцы уверенно победили со счётом 3:0. Видимо, «Барса» посчитала, что дело уже сделано и расслабилась.
Но в ответном матче «Реал» показал характер, и какой! Королевский клуб взял верх с буквально уникальным счётом 11:1. Эта победа в истории Эль-Классико стала самой крупной. С большой долей вероятности можно сказать, что она таковой и останется.
«Барселона» победила однажды «Реал» тоже разгромно – 7:0. Случилось это ещё в 1913 году. Справедливости ради, нужно отметить, что игра была товарищеской.
Лучшие бомбардиры
Больше всех голов в легендарном противостоянии забил Лионель Месси – 26. Есть все основания полагать, что цифра может ещё увеличится. На втором месте по этому показателю Альфредо Ди Стефано, блиставший в своё время в матчах за «Реал» – 18. Столько же забил и играющий ещё Криштиану Роналду, но он этот показатель улучшит вряд ли, поскольку из королевского клуба португалец решил уйти в чемпионат Италии.
А в этом видео можно увидеть одни из самых запоминающихся матчей в Эль-Классико.
Интересные факты
- Есть сведения, что разгром каталонцев со счётом 1:11 произошёл после угроз со стороны фашистов в адрес семей игроков «Барселоны», но реальных доказательств этому нет.
- 23 ноября 2002 года в матче Примеры между извечными соперниками была зафиксирована ничья со счётом 0:0. С тех пор голы в подобных поединках забивались всегда.
- Самый быстрый гол в арсенале Карима Бензема. Он забил его уже на 22 секунде.
- Чаще всех выходил на Эль-Классико футболист «Реала» Мануэль Санчес – 43 раза.
- Легендарный Альфредо Ди Стефано однажды ухитрился одновременно подписать контракты сразу с «Реалом» и «Барсой». Разбирая возникший конфликт, федерация футбола страны вынесла соломоново решение: обязать игрока выступать за команды… поочерёдно. Каталонцы, к их чести, он этой нелепости отказались.
