Alavés Looks to Reclaim Glory Against Real Madrid After Decades-Long Home Drought

Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain – Deportivo Alavés is set to face Real Madrid this Sunday in a highly anticipated La Liga clash, marking 94 years since their historic first victory against the Spanish giants. On March 8, 1931, Alavés stunned Real Madrid with a 2-0 victory at Mendizorroza, a match that saw Albéniz score both goals past legendary goalkeeper Ricardo Zamora.

However, the memories of this triumph are bittersweet for Alavés fans, as their team has struggled against Real Madrid at home in recent decades. The last home victory against “Los Blancos” dates back to October 6, 2018, and the team is eager to break this losing streak.

Historically, Real Madrid has dominated the fixture, with Alavés winning only four of the 38 games played between the two sides in La Liga. Their most recent victory came in 2020 at the Bernabéu, thanks to a single goal scored by Joselu.

Beyond the rivalry, the two clubs share a history of players who have worn both jerseys. Notable figures include Javier Berasaluce, Ciriaco Errasti Suinaga, Jacinto Quincoces, Urretavizcaya, Sañudo, Wilson, Antonio Alsúa, Jorge Valdano, Iván Campo, Joselu, Antonio Blanco and Mariano. Of particular note is Joselu, currently Alavés’ top scorer in La Liga with 36 goals, after having already had a prominent career with Real Madrid.

This Sunday’s match promises to be a tense affair, with Alavés driven to recapture past glory and end their home drought against the powerful Real Madrid.
