FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid - 10 April 2010 & El Clasico HD FC Barcelona History in the Clasico - There is often a fierce rivalry between the two strongest teams in a national league and this is particularly the case in La Liga where the game between Barça and Real Madrid is known as El Clásico. From the start the clubs were seen as representatives of two rival regions in Spain: Catalonia and Castile as well as of the two cities themselves. The rivalry projects what many regard as the political and other tensions felt between Catalans and the Castilians. During the dictatorships of Primo de Rivera and (especially) of Francisco Franco (19391975) all regional cultures were openly suppressed (e.g. all the languages spoken in Spanish territory except Spanish itself were officially banned). Symbolising Catalan people's desire for freedom Barça became more than a club (Més que un Club) for it and one of its greatest ambassadors. According to Manuel Vázquez Montalbán Catalans' best way of demonstrating their identity was by joining Barça. It was less risky than joining a clandestine anti-Franco movement and allowed them to express their dissidence. On the contrary Real Madrid was widely seen as the embodiment of the sovereign oppressive centralism and the fascist regime at management level and beyond (Santiago Bernabeu the former club president for whom the Merengues' stadium is named fought with los nacionales).[23][24] However during the Spanish Civil War members of both clubs like Josep Sunyol and Rafael Sánchez Guerra suffered at the hands of Franco supporters. During the 1950s the rivalry was exacerbated significantly when the clubs disputed the signing of Alfredo di Stéfano who finally played for Real Madrid and was key in the subsequent success achieved by the club. The 1960s saw the rivalry reach the European stage when they met twice at the knock-out stages of the European Cup. Nowadays the rivalry is renewed on an almost annual basis with both teams often challenging each other for the league championship. The latest Clásico was played in the Santiago Bernabéu on 2 May 2009 and ended with an impressive 26 win for Barça with two goals each from Thierry Henry and Lionel Messi as well as goals from Carles Puyol and Gerard Piqué. *- FC Barcelona Players: 1 GK Víctor Valdés (2nd vice-captain) 2 DF Dani Alves 3 DF Gerard Piqué 4 DF Rafael Márquez 5 DF Carles Puyol (captain) 6 MF Xavi Hernández (1st vice-captain) 7 MF Eiður Guðjohnsen 8 MF Andrés Iniesta (3rd vice-captain) 9 FW Zlatan Ibrahimović 10 FW Lionel Messi 11 FW Bojan Krkić 13 GK José Manuel Pinto 14 FW Thierry Henry 15 MF Seydou Keita 16 MF Sergio Busquets 17 FW Pedro Rodríguez 18 DF Gabriel Milito 19 DF Maxwell 20 DF Dmytro Chygrynskiy 22 DF Éric Abidal 24 MF Yaya Touré Real Madrid History in the Clasico - The rivalry with Barcelona projects what some regard as the political tensions felt between Castilians and Catalans. Madrid is the seat of the government and of the royal family and especially during the Francoist era it came to represent the conservative centripetal forces. During the 1950s the rivalry was intensified further when the clubs disputed the signing of Alfredo di Stéfano who finally played for Real Madrid and was key in the subsequent success achieved by the club. The 1960s saw the rivalry reach the European stage when they met twice at the European Cup Real Madrid winning in 1960 and Barça winning in 1961. In 2000 the rivalry was reinforced following the controversial decision by Luís Figo to leave Barça and sign for Real Madrid. The two teams met again in the 2002 UEFA Champions League semi-final. Real Madrid the eventual champion won the clash dubbed by Spanish media as the Match of the Century. As the two biggest and most successful clubs in Spain the rivalry is renewed on an annual basis with both teams often challenging each other for the league championship. *- Real Madrid Players: 1 GK Iker Casillas (vice-captain) 2 DF Miguel Torres 3 DF Pepe 4 DF Sergio Ramos 5 MF Fernando Gago 6 MF Mahamadou Diarra 7 FW Raúl (captain) 8 MF Kaká 9 FW Cristiano Ronaldo 10 MF Lassana Diarra 11 FW Karim Benzema 12 DF Marcelo 13 GK Antonio Adán 14 MF Guti (vice-captain) 15 MF Royston Drenthe 16 DF Álvaro Arbeloa 17 FW Ruud van Nistelrooy 18 DF Raúl Albiol 19 DF Ezequiel Garay 20 FW Gonzalo Higuaín 21 DF Christoph Metzelder 22 MF Xabi Alonso 23 MF Rafael van der Vaart 24 MF Esteban Granero 25 GK Jerzy Dudek
