Great Rivalries in Sports
Spain’s two most famous soccer clubs, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, share a heated rivalry, known in Spain as ‘El Clásico,’ that dates back to the Spanish Civil War in the late 1930s. Real Madrid holds a 68-30-60 all-time edge in head-to-head match-ups, though FC Barcelona swept the two matches this year.
