The Teams

Real Madrid


Founded in 1902 as Madrid Football Club, the team has traditionally worn a white home kit since. The word real is Spanish for royal and was bestowed to the club by King Alfonso XIII in 1920 together with the royal crown in the emblem. The team has played its home matches in the 85,454-capacity Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in downtown Madrid since 1947. Unlike most European football clubs, Real Madrid's members (socios) have owned and operated the club since its inception.

The club is the world's richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €513 million, and the most valuable sports team, worth €2.4 billion (US$3.3 billion). It is one of three clubs to have never been relegated from the top flight of Spanish football, along with Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona. Real Madrid holds many long-standing rivalries, most notably El Clásico with FC Barcelona and El Derbi madrileño with Atlético Madrid.

The club established itself as a major force in both Spanish and European football during the 1950s. Domestically, Real Madrid has won a record 32 La Liga titles, 19 Copas del Rey, 9 Supercopas de España, 1 Copa Eva Duarte and 1 Copa de la Liga. Internationally it has won a record nine European Cup/UEFA Champions League titles and a joint record three Intercontinental Cups, as well as two UEFA Cups, and one UEFA Super Cup.


Atlético de Madrid


Atlético have won La Liga on ten occasions, including a league and cup double in 1996; the Copa del Rey on ten occasions; 1 Supercopa de España and 3 Copa Eva Duarte; in Europe, they won the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1962, were European Cup runners-up in 1974,[2] won the Europa League in 2010 and in 2012, and won the UEFA Super Cup in 2010 and 2012, as well as the 1974 Intercontinental Cup.

The club play their home games at the Vicente Calderón, which currently holds up to 54,960 spectators.

Atletico's home kit is red and white vertical striped shirts, with blue shorts, accompanied by blue and red socks. This combination has been used since 1911.

This could go either way, and by either way, I mean either Bale or Ronaldo could score the winner that grabs Real la decima. Phwoar, what an attacking duo.

Sergio Ramos will be sent off and Real Madrid will win 3 - 1 with a late dagger of a goal. That's what I dreamed anyway.

Atletico Madrid, of all teams, denying Real Madrid their precious ~decima~ would be too drat good so I'm sure it won't be happening, sadly.

This and Costa scoring against Brazil in the final of the World Cup to win it would both be really, really funny

Real Madrid is at 2,1/1 to win and Athletico 3,45/1. Hmmm, this is a big decision, since the team I'll bet on will lose.

With two counter-attacking teams you better believe it'll be a less boring retread of the first Atletico - Chelsea game.
