What is El Clásico?
El Clásico is the name given to football matches between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. The clubs represent Spain's capital and the Catalan capital, and their rivalry has grown through league title races, cup finals and European ties. Madrid were founded in 1902 and Barça in 1899; their first meeting came in the 1902 Copa de la Coronación, long before La Liga began in 1929.
Who has the better head-to-head record?
In this archive's default competitive scope, Real Madrid have 107 wins, Barcelona have 106 wins, and 52 matches were drawn, through 25 Oct 2026. The total includes the 1902 meeting, whose classification differs between historical sources. Use the head-to-head explorer to compare competitions and eras, and read the counting rules before comparing totals from different websites.
History, trophies and the season in context
A rivalry record answers a different question from a league table. The table compares each club's results against the whole division, while the trophy comparison covers honours won across many seasons and competitions. The player records connect today's recorded goalscorers with the historical Clásico careers of players such as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
