Madrid Football Clubs Championship Rankings
As a powerhouse of Spanish football, the Madrid region is home to several formidable football clubs. I recently compiled championship data for [Madrid and Barcelona teams], and the findings are quite fascinating, particularly the gap between Real Madrid and Atlético. Today, let’s explore how many championships these Madrid clubs have actually won.
Real Madrid: The Undisputed Trophy Machine
When discussing Madrid clubs, Real Madrid immediately comes to mind. Founded in 1902, this club is undoubtedly one of Europe’s most successful. As of the 2024-2025 season, Real Madrid has secured 15 Champions League trophies—a staggering number that far exceeds the second-place finisher. Domestically, Real Madrid has claimed 36 La Liga titles and 20 Copa del Rey championships. Add in the Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, and other competitions, and their trophy cabinet is likely overflowing.
Atlético Madrid: Glory of Los Colchoneros
Ranked second is Atlético Madrid. While the gap with Real Madrid is evident, the Colchoneros’ achievements are still impressive. Atlético has won 11 La Liga titles, most recently in the 2020-2021 season when Simeone led the team past Real Madrid and Barcelona to claim the championship. Honestly, that season was absolutely thrilling to watch. In European competitions, Atlético has captured 3 Europa League titles and 1 European Cup Winners’ Cup. Although the Champions League has remained just out of reach, they’ve reached the final 3 times. In Copa del Rey, Atlético has lifted the trophy 10 times, demonstrating their overall strength.
Other Madrid Clubs Overview
Beyond these two giants, Madrid also hosts clubs like Getafe and Rayo Vallecano. While these clubs haven’t secured major championships, they remain integral parts of the Spanish football system. Getafe’s best performance came in 2007 when they reached the Copa del Rey final, only to lose to Sevilla. Rayo Vallecano is renowned for their tenacious style and unique fan culture. Though trophies are scarce, they maintain their place in Madrid football.

The table below provides a clearer view of championship counts for Madrid’s main clubs:

Looking at the data for Madrid club cakes, Real Madrid’s dominance is truly overwhelming, both domestically and in European competitions. While Atlético has long lived in Real Madrid’s shadow, their steady improvement under Simeone in recent years has added more excitement to Madrid football and the Madrid Derby. Do you think Atlético has a chance to catch up to Real Madrid in championship count over the next few years? Feel free to share your thoughts.
