Their first meeting was in a Copa Coronacion semi-final game in 1902, which Barcelona won 3-1. Both teams wouldn’t meet again until 1916 in a two-legged semi-final clash, with Real Madrid recording a 4-1 win to make it to the final after losing 2-1 in the first leg.
Their first meeting in La Liga was in 1929, with Barcelona winning both legs 2-1 and 1-0, respectively. The first time this rivalry became more intense was when Luis Figo left Barcelona to join Real Madrid for a record transfer fee at the time. This clearly angered Barcelona fans, who constantly taunted the Portuguese winger whenever he returned to Camp Nou with Real Madrid.
The transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid in 2009 injected a new level of intensity into the El Clasico, fueled by his eternal rivalry with Barcelona’s Lionel Messi.
This individual rivalry played out within the larger context of the teams, adds a personal stake and competitiveness to the matches. Unsurprisingly, they’re the top scorers in this fixture, with Messi recording 26 El Clasico goals. In comparison, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 18 goals against Barcelona as a Real Madrid player during his time in Spain.
Both teams have played 256 matches between them. Real Madrid slightly edges out with 105 wins, while Barcelona has recorded 100 wins over the Los Blancos. 51 matches have ended in a draw.
