Football in Madrid

Football in the city
Supporters of Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid make up over half of all of Spain's football fans, and the two are giants in European terms too. Real Madrid started the 2018/19 season having won 33 Spanish titles, and 19 Spanish Cups in addition to 13 UEFA Champions League/European Cup titles and two UEFA Cups. Atlético's achievements are almost as mighty: ten league titles and Spanish Cups, plus a Cup Winners' Cup and three editions of the UEFA Europa League. Plenty of other clubs play in the city (Getafe, Rayo Vallecano and Leganés are in the top flight too), but there is only one Madrid derby that the world talks about.
