The most intense rivalry in football kicks off this weekend when Barcelona faces Real Madrid in El Clasico. There have been over 250 clashes between the two sides, with Los Blancos winning 102 of them, two more than the Blaugrana. The remaining 52 are draws. Given all the excitement around the matchup and how Madrid’s newest sensation, Jude Bellingham, might fare, let’s look at which players made the most stunning debuts in El Clasico.
1. Lionel Messi
Messi made his El Clásico debut at 18 on November 23, 2005. Although he didn’t score, Messi, as we know him, was on full display. Barcelona dominated the match, winning 3-0, with Messi showing glimpses of the 26 strikes he’d bag in El Clasico yet to come.
2. Cristiano Ronaldo
Ronaldo’s El Clásico debut came in 2009 after his record-shattering transfer from Manchester United to Real Madrid. The Portuguese star had a decent outing, but Barcelona came out on top, winning 1-0. While Ronaldo couldn’t mark his debut with a win or a goal, he set the stage for numerous electric performances in future El Clásicos. He finished the great rivalry with 18 goals.
3. Raúl
In 1994, 17-year-old Raúl made his El Clásico debut as a sub. Years later, the Real Madrid legend silenced 100,000 Barca fans at Camp Nou when he scored the equalizer (his second) in the 86th minute and silenced the crowd.
4. Ronaldinho
Talk about unforgettable El Clásico debuts. Ronaldinho’s performance in April 2004 was just the beginning of his razzle-dazzle displays for the Blaugrana. The Brazilian made a beautiful chip pass to Xavi for the team’s second goal and nearly bagged a remarkable goal in stoppage time.
He’d score two mesmerizing solo goals, dribbling past multiple Real Madrid defenders in El Clasico 2005. He even received a standing ovation from the Madrid fans, a rare feat.
5. Neymar
Who else? Part of the famous “MSN” alliance front three at Barcelona, Neymar scored in his first debut match against Real Madrid. He also assisted in a 2-1 victory for the Blaugrana.
