  May 11, 2025 FC Barcelona - Real Madrid  CF Spotify Camp Nou, Barcelona, Spain On Sunday, May 11, 2025, another chapter of the world's most famous football rivalry will take place in Spanish LaLiga. FC Barcelona will welcome Real Madrid to Camp Nou, with both teams having much to play for in this El Clásico. Barcelona have won their last three matches against Real Madrid in all competitions. Only once in the entire history of El Clásico, between 2008 and 2010 under Josep Guardiola (five), have the Blaugrana managed to win 4 or more consecutive matches. The Catalan side thus has a chance to join Guardiola's legendary team. However, Real Madrid have won four of their last five away matches against FC Barcelona in all competitions (1 loss), achieving the same number of victories as in their previous 19 visits to Barcelona (4 wins, 7 draws, 8 losses). Los Blancos have thus significantly improved their record at their arch-rival's ground. Barcelona have won all three of...

  April 23, 2025 Getafe - Real Madrid The Coliseum Alfonso Pérez stages another chapter in Madrid's footballing saga this Wednesday as Getafe CF host Real Madrid in a derby that has historically been one-sided. Real Madrid arrive at the fixture looking to extend their impressive unbeaten run against their local rivals, while José Bordalás's Getafe desperately seek to end their drought against Los Blancos. The statistics paint a grim picture for the hosts. Getafe have lost their last six meetings with Real Madrid in La Liga, failing to score in five of those encounters. In fact, Real Madrid stand as the opponent against whom Getafe have suffered the most defeats in their top-flight history (29 losses in 39 matches), also conceding a record 83 goals. Carlo Ancelotti's men have established firm control over this fixture in recent years. After a shaky start to their trips to the Coliseum – losing three of their first five visits between 2005 and 2008 – Real Madrid have tran...

  Real Madrid v Arsenal (aggregate score: 0-3) April 16, 2025 The Santiago Bernabéu, the cathedral of football miracles, prepares for what could be one of the most memorable European nights in its storied history. Real Madrid, the 14-time European champions, find themselves in unfamiliar territory - needing to overturn a three-goal deficit against an Arsenal side that has never conceded a goal to the Spanish giants in European competition. The shocking 3-0 defeat at the Emirates Stadium has left Carlo Ancelotti's men with a mountain to climb. History shows just how difficult their task is - Real Madrid have lost the first leg of a Champions League knockout tie by 3+ goals on five previous occasions, and were eliminated in three of the four previous instances. The sole exception came nearly 50 years ago against Derby County in 1975-76, when they overturned a 1-4 first-leg defeat to win 6-5 on aggregate. "The Bernabéu has seen many magical nights, but we need something spec...

  Deportivo Alavés - Real Madrid CF April 13th, 2025 Molinón in Basque Vitoria will host a clash between two teams with different ambitions on Sunday. The home team Alavés is fighting for a comfortable mid-table position, while Real Madrid needs every point in the battle for the league title. Deportivo Alavés has one of the worst historical records against Real Madrid of all LaLiga teams. From 37 mutual matches in the top flight, the Basques have managed to win only four times (2 draws, 31 losses). However, two of these triumphs came in the last 11 duels (9 losses) - 1-0 in October 2018 under Abelardo Fernández and 2-1 in November 2020 with Pablo Machín on the bench. Real Madrid has been almost unbeatable against Alavés in this millennium. The "White Ballet" has won 87% of its matches against Deportivo Alavés in LaLiga since 2001 (from 23 duels: 20 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses). The Royal Club has a higher percentage of victories in this period only against Granada (95% - from...

  Arsenal v Real Madrid April 8th, 2025 After almost two decades, the giants of European football meet again. Arsenal and Real Madrid last faced each other in the 2005/06 season when they met in the Champions League round of 16. That encounter ended with a surprising progression of the London side, which won 1-0 in Madrid and maintained a goalless draw at home. They thus became one of only two English teams (along with Liverpool) that remained undefeated in their first three duels with Real in European competitions. However, Real Madrid has since gained rich experience with English clubs. Since the 2017/18 season, the White Ballet has played an incredible 22 matches against Premier League teams in the knockout phase of the Champions League (11 wins, 5 draws, 6 losses), which is 10 more than any other team has against sides from one specific country. The reigning champions are true specialists in first-leg knockout matches. In the last eight cases, they haven't lost the opening...
