Although Los Blancos have defeated Atleti in other competitions in recent years, they haven’t won a LALIGA EA SPORTS match against their rivals since September of 2022.
Real Madrid have home advantage for the second ELDERBI DE MADRID of the 2025/26 LALIGA EA SPORTS campaign, and they’ll hope and expect to achieve a much better result than the 5-2 defeat they suffered at the hands of their city rivals at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano back in September.

That result confirmed something of a recent trend, which is that Real Madrid have been struggling in ELDERBI DE MADRID in LALIGA EA SPORTS. Although Los Blancos have won matches against Atleti in other competitions, including a Spanish Super Cup semi-final triumph in January, they have struggled to collect all three points against their neighbours in recent times.
Real Madrid’s last derby win in LALIGA EA SPORTS
You have to go back to September 18th of 2022 for the last league game in which Real Madrid defeated Atlético de Madrid. That was an away fixture for Los Blancos, and they achieved a 2-1 win thanks to first-half goals from Rodrygo and Fede Valverde. Even though Mario Hermoso pulled one back for Diego Simeone’s side late on, it was too little too late and Real Madrid picked up three points.
Since then, there have been six more league meetings between these clubs, with Atlético de Madrid winning twice and with there being four draws. All three clashes at the Bernabéu in the past three seasons have ended as draws: a 1-1 in the second half of 2022/23, a 1-1 in 2023/24 and another 1-1 in 2024/25.
In the meantime, at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Atleti have defeated their rivals 3-1 in 2023/24, drawn 1-1 in 2024/25 and then triumphed 5-2 in an emphatic victory earlier this term, with Julián Alvarez scoring a brace in addition to goals from Robin Le Normand, Alexander Sørloth and Antoine Griezmann.
By the time of the 21:00 CET kick-off on Sunday night, over three and a half years will have passed since Real Madrid’s last ELDERBI DE MADRID victory in league play. For their fans, that’s far too long, and something needs to change.
A more balanced head-to-head across all competitions
The good news for Real Madrid supporters is that the record across all competitions has been more balanced. Since the September 2022 league game, there have been 12 meetings in total and it couldn’t have been any more even, with four Real Madrid wins, four Atlético de Madrid wins and four draws.
There have been some epic matches during that span, with Real Madrid edging by a 5-3 scoreline a thriller in the 2023/24 Spanish Super Cup semi-final, before Atleti won 4-2 after extra time in a Copa del Rey match that same season.
There was also the dramatic Champions League Round of 16 tie held last season, with Real Madrid winning 2-1 at home and Atlético de Madrid then earning a 1-0 victory in the second leg to take the contest all the way to spot kicks, where Julián Alvarez’s famous double touch penalty call led to Los Blancos advancing to the next round.
This season, they have already met twice, with Atlético de Madrid winning 5-2 in the league and Real Madrid overcoming their rivals 2-1 in the Spanish Super Cup semi-final. Now, as they face off for the third time, it’s anyone’s guess as to what the final score will be.
