El Derbi madrileño (Real Madrid and Atletico with contrasting identities)

El Derbi madrileño (English: Madrid Derby) is the name given to football matches between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid, both of them from Madrid, Spain. Real Madrid and Atletico are clubs with contrasting identities and very different fates - a divide similar to Manchester's derby, but far more political. Historically, Real Madrid have long been seen as the establishment club. On the other side, Atletico was always characterized by a 'sentimiento de rebeldía' (a sense of rebellion) although, during the early Franco years, it was Atlético that was the preferred team of the regime, being associated with the military airforce, until the regime's preferences moved towards Real Madrid in the 1950s. Franco sought to make political capital out of Real Madrid's European Cup titles at a time when Spain was internationally isolated - "Real Madrid are the best embassy we ever had", said one minister. Bernabeu, Real Madrid's stadium, is majestic, alongside banks and businesses on the classy and aristocratic Castellana, while Calderon can be found beside the river; Real Madrid draw greater support because of its successes, while Atletico has a more working class fan base, which comes particularly from the south of the city.

Players Of Real Madrid CF

Spanish teams are limited to three players without EU citizenship. The squad list includes only the principal nationality of each player; several non-European players on the squad have dual citizenship with an EU country. Also, players from the ACP countries—countries in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific that are signatories to the Cotonou Agreement—are not counted against non-EU quotas due to the Kolpak ruling. Real Madrid has established a reputation of signing only the world's best players, a throw back to President Santiago Bernabeu Yeste 's 1950s policy that brought the likes of Alfredo Di Stefano, Ferenc Puskas, Francisco Gento and Raymond Kopa. In recent times the likes of Figo, Zidane, Ronaldo, Beckham, Owen, Robinho, Van Nistelrooy, Robben and Van Der Vaart simultaneously donned the prestigious white shirt, giving birth to the name Los Galacticos.
