The rivalry between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona is legendary. From the start, the clubs were seen as representatives of two rival regions of Spain, Castile and Catalonia, not just of the two cities themselves.
An important landmark in the rivalry between the two club was the controversial dispute over the signing of Alfredo Di Stéfano in the 1950s.
As the two biggest and most successful clubs in Spain, nowadays the rivalry is renewed on an annual basis with both teams often challenging each other for the league championship. The flashpoint of this rivalry is the twice-a-season El Clasico which draws vast audiences from around the world.
