EI transit of madridistas in Vitoria and vice versa it has been something continuous throughout the history of both entities. Starting with the great Javier Berasaluce, who conquered five European Cups in the 1950s (1956,1957,1958, 1959 and 1960). He previously debuted as a goalkeeper for Alavés in 1951.
