After Real Madrid:  Although the city of Madrid currently boasts several LALIGA teams, Real Madrid vs Atletico de Madrid is the big one for many natives of the city, known as madrilenos.

After Real Madrid were officially established in 1902, and then Atletico the following year, the two sides faced off in various friendlies and unofficial meetings before the first recorded official meeting in the Campeonato Regional Centro, a 1-1 draw on December 2, 1906.

The rivalry continued through different regional and national championships, until 1928/29 when LALIGA began with both clubs as initial founder members. Their first meeting in the new competition came on February 24, 1929 at Real Madrid’s Chamartín stadium. The home team won 2-1, with an extra edge added as both goals were scored by forward Monchin Triana, who had joined from Atletico just the previous year.
