Real Madrid vs FC Barcelona: Who leads in the history of the Clasicos?

Every encounter between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona carries the "Clásico" label, a football moment loaded with rivalry, pride, and history. Ahead of the latest showdown scheduled for today, this match remains one of the most watched in the world of sport. The stakes now go far beyond just three points: it’s about dominating an institution and seizing symbolic supremacy. Statistically, the balance currently tips just slightly to one side.

A narrow advantage for Real Madrid

According to official data compiled and updated through May 2025, Real Madrid leads the historic head-to-head: 105 victories for Los Blancos versus 104 for Barcelona, with 52 draws.

In La Liga, the rivalry is just as tight: out of 190 league matches, Real has won 79 times compared to Barça’s 76, with 35 draws.

This reflects the intensity of the rivalry and the minimal margin separating the two. However, recent seasons have swung toward the Catalans, who clinched four wins over Real during the 2024-25 campaign—a record.

Today, a new chapter

As the latest Clásico dawns, both teams arrive with different momentum but share the same ambition: to seize the upper hand in this symbolic battle. Real Madrid will look to consolidate its slender historical lead and remind everyone it remains the benchmark for major domestic and continental clashes. FC Barcelona, meanwhile, will seek to build on recent successes, add to its tally, and tilt the scales slightly back. For supporters, every pass, every duel, every minute is another chapter in this passionate saga. Their eyes will be fixed on the pitch—and the record books. Because beyond immediate goals, the Clásico cements its place in football legend.
