What is the term “El Derbi Madrileño” for in football?
El Derbi Madrileño, (English: The Madrid Derby) or simply El Derbi, is the name given to football matches between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid, both from Madrid. Originally it referred only to those fixtures held in the Spanish championship, but nowadays the term has been generalized, and tends to include every single match between the two clubs (UEFA Champions League, Copa del Rey, etc.).
The two clubs met in Lisbon for the 2014 UEFA Champions League Final, making it the first time two clubs from the same city played in the final. After facing off a second time in the 2016 UEFA Champions League Final in Milan, with Real Madrid winning as they had two years earlier, they also met in the 2018 UEFA Super Cup, again the first time two clubs from the same city met in that event; it was won by Atlético.
