A brief history of El Clásico. FC Barcelona were founded in 1899 and Real Madrid three years later, in 1902. It was the latter year in which the first El Clásico was played. It was part of the 'Concurso Madrid de Foot-Ball Association,' better known as the Copa de la Coronación, an unofficial competition.
Real Madrid 11-1 FC Barcelona, 1943. Real Madrid recorded the biggest ever Clasico win in 1943, overturning a 3-0 deficit from the first leg as they beat Barcelona 11-1 to advance in the Spanish Cup. Pruden, with a treble, and Barinaga, who hit four, were the main benefactors of the win.
The head-to-head records between these two giants have been a topic of discussion for decades. In addition to these statistics, Real Madrid has recorded more wins in head-to-head matches, winning 97 games compared to Barcelona's 96. The rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona extends beyond the football pitch.
