Real Madrid will travel to the Civitas Metropolitan Stadium to face Atletico Madrid for the first Madrid Derby of the season. Atletico Madrid are currently in seventh place in the La Liga standings and have been inconsistent so far this season. The home side played out a 1-1 draw against Lazio this week but would like to pick a win against their fierce winner.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, are sitting in the 3rd spot of the league table at the moment and have been in impressive form this season. Los Blancos edged Union Berlin to a 1-0 victory in their previous game in the UCL and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend to reclaim the top spot. Barcelona reached the top after a comeback victory against Celta Vigo while Girona moved to second place after a huge win against Mallorca.

Real Madrid are in the third spot with 15 points in their 5 games while Barcelona and Girona have already played this week's games and they are sitting in the top two with 16 points in 6 matches. Los Blancos would like to take their spot back with a convincing win against Atletico Madrid.

Atletico also need a win to get their momentum back and get themselves on the way alongside Barcelona and Real Madrid for the title charge. They were very poor against Valencia in their last La Liga game and will be very eager to get something from the match.

Atletico will definitely be without the services of Thomas Lemar, Caglar Soyuncu, Reinildo, Rodrigo De Paul, and Barrios for the Madrid derby. Koke and Memphis Depay have also faced late fitness tests Barrios's injury occurred against Lazio during the week and Koke will be there to replace him. Jose Gimenez should also come into the side.

"We all have a very big motivation to win. I can't wait to win titles with the Atleti shirt and so can my teammates, we know how we have to face this group stage and all the competitions we play, we have a great team and the dynamic, despite the game the other day in Valencia, is very positive and we have a lot of confidence in the group." 

Diego Pablo Simeone, manager of Atletico Madrid

Real Madrid:

Meanwhile, Real Madrid have not exactly been at their free-flowing best early this season, but they have impressively dealt with injuries to some key players and have shown their character by winning each of their last four matches by narrow victories.

El Clasico refers to a match between two of Spain's biggest teams, FC Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Premier League: History

The Football League First Division was the top-tier football league in England from 1888. But in the post-1970s and early 1980s, the league started to reach a low point with incidents like the 1985 Heysel Stadium disaster, which banned them from UEFA Competitions for five years. 

But after England reached the 1990 FIFA World Cup semi-finals, the downward trend started to reverse. The stadium started to get filled, and the Taylor Report on stadium safety standards also helped clubs to create better standard stadiums. 

After a dispute over TV rights and maximising the club revenue, the big five clubs, Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Everton, and Arsenal, opted to come out of the Football League First Division and create another league. 

At the close of the 1990-91 season, the FA Premier League was formed, and from 1992-93 the Premier League era started with 22 teams. Manchester United were the first Premier League champions and went on to win seven of the first nine trophies.

Who has won the most Premier League titles?

Manchester United are the team with most Premier League titles since 1992 | sportzpoint.com

Till now, 51 teams have played in the Premier League since the tournament was rebranded in 1992. 7 teams have successfully won the Premier League title.

Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Tottenham are considered the 'Big Six' in the Premier League. Unfortunately, Tottenham haven't lifted any major title in their history, but still, they go toe to toe with every club and take part in the title race.

Manchester United, with 13 Premier League titles since 1992, are the most successful club in the Premier League era.

Most Premier League titles won by the clubs

  1. Manchester United- 13
  2. Manchester City- 8
  3. Chelsea - 5
  4. Arsenal- 3
  5. Liverpool- 2
  6. Blackburn Rovers - 1

In the 2015-16 Premier League season, Leicester City won the title in the Premier League. They were considered to be an underdog before but they overcame the rough phase and won the Premier League title in the club's 132-year history.

Blackburn Rovers was one of the 22 founding members of the Premier League era. They won the Premier League a long time ago in the 1994-95 season. Alan Shearer, with 34 goals for them, was the top scorer of the season. However, they were relegated in the 1998–99 season, becoming one of the 42 teams that were relegated as the Premier League champions.

Right after two seasons, they were promoted again in the 2000-01 season, but they were relegated yet once again, and that too in the same season. Unfortunately, they have not returned to the Premier League since then.

5. Liverpool FC - 2 titles

The Anfield Giants are one of the most popular English Clubs. Midfield maestros Steven Gerrard and William Shankly were a few of the legends that the club produced.

However, Liverpool had to wait for 30 years for their first-ever Premier League title. The club won the Premier League once in 2019-20 under German tactician Jurgen Klopp. That was Liverpool's nineteenth overall title in England's top-tier football. 

Mohamed Salah, with 19 goals, was one of the star performers for the Reds in that season. 

As their most recent league success, Liverpool won the Premier League 2024-25 title with 4 games to go in the season. Arne Slot's first season as the Liverpool manager gave them their 20th Title in the top flight and 2nd in the Premier League era.

Mohamed Salah again played a pivotal role in their success with 28 goals and counting. 

4. Arsenal FC - 3 titles

They were the first club to create Premier League history by maintaining a 38-game unbeaten streak to win the title in 2003-04.

In domestic football, Arsenal has won 13 league titles, a record 14 FA Cups, two League Cups, and 17 FA Community Shields, but they haven't won a single European title yet.

Real Madrid threatened to opt out of the final

Real Madrid first released a statement that they might think of opting out of the final after the statement of the referee, Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea. Bengoetxea was brought to tears in a press conference after Real Madrid TV released a video highlighting the mistakes of the referee, which brought him insults and trolls from many sections of fans. 

Real Madrid wanted the Federation to change the referee and did not train or visit the pre-match rituals as well. 

However, the Federation stuck to their decision and did not change the officials of the match. Later, Real Madrid stated they want to go ahead with the final.

Copa Del Rey Final: Real Madrid issues statement midst rumours of Copa del Rey boycott

The Los Blancos have issued a statement amid the rumours of boycotting the Copa del Rey final against FC Barcelona on Saturday. They are not happy with the statements of referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea.

Copa Del Rey Final: Real Madrid issues statement midst rumours of Copa del Rey boycott | sportzpoint.com

Real Madrid have issued an official statement amid the rumours of boycotting the Copa del Rey 2025 final against FC Barcelona on Saturday after the statements of referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea. 

Referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea was brought to tears in the press conference after Real Madrid released a video highlighting his mistakes from the past. 

Here is the statement made by Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea in the press conference. 

“When a child of yours goes to school and there are kids telling him that his father is a ‘thief’ and comes home crying, it’s totally messed up,” he told reporters.

“What I do is try to educate my son, to say that his father is honest, above all honest, who can make mistakes, like any sportsperson.

“This is really messed up... but the day I leave (the job), I want my son to be proud of what his father is, and what refereeing is, it has given us many values," this is what Bengoetxea said. 

Here is Real Madrid's video highlighting his mistakes -

After the statement of Bengoetxea, Real Madrid want the referee for the final to be changed. Although there are no signs of a change in the official stance of the Federation.

Here is the official statement from Real Madrid regarding the issue -

Real Madrid C. F. considers unacceptable the public statements made today by the referees appointed for the Copa del Rey Final to be held tomorrow 26 April 2025.

These statements, which have surprisingly placed in the spotlight videos made by a media outlet protected by freedom of expression, such as Realmadrid TV, made in a premeditated manner 24 hours ahead of the final against one of its participants, demonstrate, once again, these referees clear and manifest animosity and hostility towards Real Madrid.

Statements that are even more surprising, using a threatening tone, alluding to the unity of the referees, to announce supposed measures or actions that are far removed from the principles of fairness, objectivity and impartiality that should prevail just hours before a football event that will draw the attention of hundreds of millions of people around the world.

In view of the seriousness of events, Real Madrid hopes that those in charge of the R.F.E.F. and the refereeing profession will act accordingly, taking the corresponding measures in defence of the honour of the institutions they represent.

Real Madrid have cancelled their training and press conference as well. But, the Federation is hopeful of completing the final with no issue.
