Barcelona and Real Madrid: Two Giants of the League

One of the most fascinating rivalries in league history is between Real Madrid and Barcelona. This rivalry has been going on for a long time and it's one that almost all football fans know about. It’s one of the most intense rivalries in world football and it takes place in La Liga, which is Spain’s top soccer league.

This rivalry began way back in 1943 when a game between Barcelona and Real Madrid turned violent. The violence led to the president of Barcelona being fired and as a result, he created another team: FC Barcelona. This new team then became rivals with their former club, Real Madrid.

Real Madrid is the more successful team out of these two giants; they have won more titles than Barcelona.

The rivalry between these two teams is fierce but there are also some players who have played for both teams before changing sides to play for their original club. One example of this is Cristiano Ronaldo who played for Manchester United before moving to Real Madrid for his final season-long loan spell before he turned free agent again last year.
