Barcelona equals Real Madrid El Clásico wins

FC Barcelona said on May 12 that its 2-0 La Liga win over Real Madrid two days earlier pulled the clubs level in the all-time El Clásico standings. The result, played on May 10 at Spotify Camp Nou, gave Barcelona its 106th official victory over Madrid, matching Madrid’s total. LaLiga’s own statistics page also lists the rivalry at 106 wins each, with 52 draws across 264 official matches. That is the figure fans were circulating on X on May 18, after posts said Barcelona had “equalled” Real Madrid in total Clásico wins. The social posts were directionally right, but the clearest verified number is 106-106, not just a general claim that the gap had closed. Barcelona published that total on May 12, and LaLiga repeated it in a separate breakdown of the fixture’s history. (fcbarcelona.com) ### Which matches count in this total? LaLiga said the all-time figure covers 264 matches between the clubs and includes the 1902 Coronation Cup meeting, which it notes is not recognized by the Spanish football federation. Its table lists 106 Real Madrid wins, 106 Barcelona wins and 52 draws. Barcelona’s club site uses the same win-draw-win total. (fcbarcelona.com) The competition-by-competition split from LaLiga shows why the total can look different depending on the source. In league play alone, Real Madrid still lead 80 wins to Barcelona’s 77, with 35 draws in 192 matches. Barcelona’s edge comes in other competitions, including the Copa del Rey, where LaLiga lists 17 Barcelona wins to 13 for Madrid. (laliga.com) ### What changed in the latest Clásico? May 10 was the date the tie was restored. Barcelona beat Real Madrid 2-0 in a league match at Camp Nou, with Marcus Rashford and Ferran Torres scoring in the first half, according to match reports and LaLiga’s match page. Barcelona said that victory was “win number 106,” bringing them level with Madrid in the all-time count. (laliga.com) Barcelona’s article framed the shift as the latest turn in a rivalry that has moved back and forth over decades. The club said Ivan Rakitić’s 1-0 win at the Bernabéu on March 2, 2019 had put Barcelona ahead 96-95, before “a run of five straight Real Madrid victories” reopened the gap. (aljazeera.com) ### Why do some fans cite different goal totals? Barcelona and LaLiga agree on the wins and draws, but their goal totals differ. Barcelona’s May 12 article says the overall tally stands at 441 goals for Barça and 444 for Madrid. LaLiga’s statistics page lists 438 goals for Barcelona and 447 for Real Madrid. (fcbarcelona.com) That discrepancy appears to be about how historical matches are categorized, not about the headline win total. Both sources still converge on the number that drove the social-media reaction: 106 wins apiece. Because the wins and draws match across both sources, that is the safest verified figure for the current all-time record. (fcbarcelona.com) ### Is this now the official all-time record? Wikipedia’s current El Clásico entry also lists the clubs tied on 106 wins each after the match played on May 10, 2026, but the stronger sourcing comes from the clubs and league itself. Barcelona’s official site and LaLiga’s official statistics page both updated after the latest match and show the same tied record. (fcbarcelona.com) The next official meeting between Barcelona and Real Madrid will decide which club moves ahead again. As of May 19, 2026, the verified running total stands at 264 official matches, 106 wins for Barcelona, 106 wins for Real Madrid and 52 draws. (laliga.com) (en.wikipedia.org)
