The first match between both teams was played on 5 March 1950 at Fiesta Alegre fronton, as part of the CAVE Cup. Real Madrid won the match by 53–38. Five days later, Real Madrid won again by 35–30.[1]

The Liga Nacional and the Cup finals

[edit]

In 1957, both clubs become the founders of the new national league and were two of the six teams that played its inaugural season. Real Madrid won its first edition. All matches played at Madrid were hosted at the Fiesta Alegre fronton. Real Madrid won the first match by 76–61 and Estudiantes, the second one by 68–63.[2]

On 6 May 1962, Real Madrid defeated Estudiantes in the final of the Copa del Generalísimo, played in Barcelona, by 80–66.[3] However, Estudiantes took revenge in the next edition and achieved their first title with a 64–60 win at Frontón Urumea in San Sebastián.[4]

Real Madrid lost the 1966–67 Liga Nacional in favour of Juventud de Badalona, after losing in the last round against Estudiantes, with a buzzer beater of Emilio Segura.[5]

Another cup match, played on 16 March 1972, became the first draw in a derby as it ended 73–73.

Estudiantes and Real Madrid would meet in two more finals played in 1973 and 1975. Real Madrid defeated Estu widely in both matches by 123–79, highest win in a final at that moment, and 114–85 respectively.

The second draw took place on 9 November 1980, a 94–94 game in the 1980–81 season, where Estudiantes finished as runner-up.[5]

In 1983, both clubs would be founding members of the Asociación de Clubs de Baloncesto, association that would organise the Liga ACB, for replacing the Liga Nacional.

On 28 March 1987, Estu and Real met in the quarterfinals of the 1986–87 ACB season. In the second match of the series, Estudiantes won by 123–115 after playing three overtimes.[6][5]

On 14 September 1996, Real Madrid signed Estudiantes' captain Alberto Herreros by paying 230 million pesetas.[8] Estu supporters started to refer him as a "traitor", after he said he left the club "to be able to win titles".[9]
