The two main rivals are FC Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid. The rivalry with Barcelona is also influenced by political and cultural aspects. In spite of this, these are the two main teams in Spain which obviously creates natural competition. All this is magnified when a player decides to change sides by going from one team to the other. For example, in the 50s both clubs disputed over Alfredo Di Stefano who finally signed with Real Madrid. This was not the last chapter if this story given that in the year 2000 Luis Figo, Barcelona’s star player, was transferred to Real Madrid.
Atletico de Madrid is Real Madrid’s rival in their city. Their different positions reflect the society’s struggle between the working class and the middle class.
