Listening to Mario talking about George Weah is just amazing. What a guy, player, and footballer. Proud to be a Liberian!

El Classico is not only the biggest sports rivalry but also one of the most political. Barca as a club is the most important piece for Catalonia independence from Spain against the club that was always favored by the royal family and the government. There is no comparison.

[Rain]

LFC fan here, I think Fullkrug to WH is a brilliant signing. He was very dangerous every time he came in for Germany during Euro. I think he starts ahead of Antiono

[Scott-vkcr]

Real Madrid/Barca is the biggest rivalry in sports. This isnt even close

[_AX]

1. El Classico
2. Milan Derby
3. Whatever that is

[harrypalms]

Celtic Rangers is bigger. The whole city of Glasgow is built around it and wearing a Rangers or Celtic shirt can be dangerous. Just Google Old Firm match day.

[maldini]

Slot will workout better. He inherrited a better squad. Barca and Madrid is the biggest rivalry in football.

[federicocamp]

Boca vs River and Nacional vs Peñarol are the two most passionate and historic. Too bad the level has gone down since the best players in both leagues go to Europe to elevate their futbol.

[michaelclayton]

Argentina vs Brazil is the Greatest rivalry.

[roddyscott]

The Dundee Derby was pretty tasty yesterday.

Celtics rangers boca river plate Roma lazio

[allenmartinalmeida]

Celtic rangers and Milan inter are fans from the same city .. so it’s not a fair comparison in terms of hostility .. madrid barca is quality and fight on the field .. this is true in the last 20 years ..

[casualreader]

Shirtless Don benched El Clásico? He must be suffering from heat exhaustion because he’s delusional.

[Photosoflife]

Credit to the individual who called out the panel for not bringing up Zirkzee yesterday when discussing United’s number 9 options with Hojlund out. Likewise, Hojlund is only out for 6 weeks and was already injured 9 days ago. If you actually look at United’s fixture list, he will very likely only miss 3-4 league matches. He won’t actually miss many matches.

The British bias is insane.🤦‍♂They talk rivalries and judge it by ATMOSPHERE.🤦‍♂

Then they proceed to rank number one the rivalry where both clubs couldn't even make the R16 of the Champions League. 🤦‍♂

El Clasico is definitely the biggest derby on Earth.

The Football has been top notch for decades especially this past decade.

Contrasting Football philosophies in full display.

Both teams are the most valuable and most prestigious football clubs in the world.

They have the best players of today (or at least one of the two clubs does)

The historic rivalry between Spanish nationalists and Catalan separatists are as hot as ever.

It attracts billions of spectators around the world.

Definitely Start

Then there is the historic Derby della Madonnina in Milan.

Milan being the first of only two cities to have 2 Champions League winning Football Clubs.

Its a rivalry rooted on past members of one club splitting and starting another I mean it doesn't get any better than that

Both teams on top of the Football world in the 80's, 90's and 00's, declined in the past decade and is certainly on their way back to the top this decade.

Derby della Madonnina definitely Bench.

Then the British bias dropped whatever it is called.

[Luke-fott]

River vs Boca and Real Madrid vs Barca

[jeremy]

No one in Madrid has ever and will ever consider Barca a rival. Barca only cares about beating Madrid. Madrid only cares about beating who the best clubs are each year
