The president of the latter club was Julián Palacios. In 1902 the latter club spilt again, resulting in the formation of Madrid FC on March 6th 1902 . The first president was Juan Padros Rubio; the first secretary was Manuel Mendía; and the first treasurer was José de Gorostizaga. Juan Padros Rubio would be later succeeded by his brother, Carlos. The Padros brothers belonged to a Catalan family that had settled in Madrid. The club colours were derived from the English side Corinthians F.C..

Rivalry with FC Barcelona

The rivalry between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona is legendary. From the start the clubs were seen as representatives of the two rival regions of Spain, Castile and Catalonia, as well as the two cities themselves. However the rivalry reached a new level during the Franco years when Real Madrid was considered to be the "regime team" while FC Barcelona was regarded as the team of the opposition. However both clubs have featured prominent members whose political allegiances contradicted this theory. During the Spanish Civil War Real Madrid's president Rafael Sánchez Guerra was a prominent Republican and was imprisoned and tortured by Nationalist supporters. They also arrested and murdered both the club's vice-president and club treasurer. In Guerra's absence one Antonio Ortega, a Communist, served as president. Ortega was a colonel in the militias that defended Madrid from Nationalist forces and was subsequently arrested after the war ended. His final fate remains unknown. In contrast two of FC Barcelona's most famous players of the era, Josep Samitier and Ricardo Zamora, openly supported Franco.
