The two main football teams in Spain are F.C. Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Real Madrid are the most successful club in Spain with a total of 70 trophies, including 31 Ligas and 9 European Cups - the club was voted the best club of the 20th century by FIFA during the millennium celebrations.
With 163,000 members, FC Barcelona is the most popular club in the world and their trophy haul is also impressive - 56 trophies including 19 Ligas and 2 European Cups. (I have included the 2008-09 Liga title in this statistic but not the 2009 Champions League or Copa del Rey titles, as they are yet to be played.)
The two clubs are so important because they represent two different views of Spain.
Madrid represent the capital, centralism and have often been supported by the Spanish government, whilst FC Barcelona are the flagship of Catalonia and its more democratic, federal view of the Spanish state.
This simplification is elaborated on in the three articles I have added as links.
