El Clasico History
These clubs first met competitively in the 1916 Copa del Rey with four matches played to see which club advanced to the final against Athletic Bilbao.
Real Madrid legend Santiago Bernabéu scored in every match with six goals in total, including one in the second replay to take Los Blancos through to the final with a 4-2 win.
The history between these clubs is bloody. In 1936 Spanish dictator Francisco Franco’s troops arrested and executed Josep Sunyol, president of Barcelona and member of the Republican Left of Catalonia.
El Clasico used to refer only to meetings in the Spanish championship, but these days the term includes every match between Barcelona and Real Madrid, such as UEFA Champions League, Copa del Rey and Super Cups.
These clubs are two of the richest and most successful clubs in world football, with huge global fanbases and a big influence on social media.
The fixture is known for a no holds barred attitude and has featured some memorable goal celebrations, including Ronaldo’s famous shirt celebration at Camp Nou in August 2017.
Ronaldo took off his shirt after scoring to put Real Madrid 2-1 up in the Spanish Super Cup first-leg tie. Ironically, Ronaldo was sent off just minutes later for diving.
Ronaldo was imitating Lionel Messi's celebration at the Santiago Bernabeu in 2016, part of another great player rivalry in El Clasico, arguably the best player rivalry in football history.
Messi is the highest scorer in El Clasico’s with 26 goals, Cristiano Ronaldo tied with Alfredo Di Stefano on 18 goals with Raúl next best with 15 El Clasico goals.
