"Wanted: Worthy Rival for a Decent Derby." Oh, they got that all right. It was November 2011, more than a decade into a long, long run of dominance from Real Madrid and their fans were getting bored, or so they claimed. They said they actually wanted Atletico Madrid to give them a game for once: it wasn't much fun when it wasn't much of a match. And so, they mocked up a classified advert that they lifted up at the south end of the Santiago Bernabeu stadium "appealing" for their opponents to be a slightly less useless football team.
Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid's rivalry was always special, but now is better than ever
