Real Madrid may be the biggest and most successful club in the city, but it certainly doesn’t stand unchallenged. Just across town lies an uncomfortable neighbour that constantly pushes back against its dominance. When these two sides meet, Madrid comes alive, divided in passion, pride, and colour. It’s one of Spain’s most electrifying derbies. If your heart leans more towards David than Goliath, you’ll probably find yourself cheering for Atlético de Madrid. Known affectionately as 'El Atleti', the club offers an impressive museum and stadium tour located within the Estadio Riyadh Air Metropolitano, their proud home ground. You will be guided, in both English and Spanish, through the club’s trophy hall, the stadium itself, and a range of interactive exhibits that bring Atleti’s story to life. Before you leave, stop by the official shop to pick up a jersey or souvenir.
