![]() The tension between the football clubs from Spain’s two biggest cities was amplified by a struggle between the teams in the 1950s to sign the talented Argentinian striker Alfredo Di Stéfano, who reneged on a proposed deal with Barcelona to sign with Madrid, helping Real become a football power in the 1950s and ’60s. Real’s local competition is Atlético Madrid, but the club’s biggest rivalry is with FC Barcelona. The club has also won the Copa del Rey, the main Spanish cup competition, 19 times, as well as nine Spanish Super Cups and two Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Cups (19). Real Madrid has won more Spanish top-division (La Liga) championships (33) than any other Spanish side. Real has won a total of 13 European Cup/Champions League titles, more than any other team. The club’s play in the 1960 European Cup final against the West German team Eintracht Frankfurt-a 7–3 Real victory-is widely considered one of the finest club performances of all time. Gifted players such as Ferenc Puskás, Alfredo Di Stéfano, Paco Gento, Hector Rial, and Miguel Muñoz helped the club win the first five European Cups in a row. It continued on a run of European dominance that no team has matched since. Real Madrid was the tournament’s first winner, defeating French club Stade de Reims in the final. The European Cup was first held during the 1955–56 season, with a prestigious field consisting of clubs that had won their own country’s league championship.
