Real Madrid vs Barcelona (El Clasico)

Basically this rivalry comes from historical factors where in the past Spain or Al-Andalus (territories of Portugal and Spain were contested areas at that time there were several provinces with different control, namely Barcelona, ​​Girona, Lleida and Tarragona before now being united with the name of the country of Spain). Some of these differences in power in ancient times often become some areas of self-cultivation.

With certain tribal areas where usually in Europe there is a significant difference that is actually rare even in today's era some Spaniards often have differences in customs from the west, center and east positions which are quite pronounced where there are some customs that are quite recognizable from the central area in the Madrid region and also the Castillion rulers are mostly known as Hispanic people or known as the people.

The original Spanish, while in the north there is a nation known as the Basques where most of them have mixed ancestry between the Native Spaniards and the people of French descent. While in the East area, precisely in the city of Barcelona, ​​most of them believe that their ancestors are a different nation from the Hispanic people and often call themselves Catalans.

Where in the past they felt that in ancient times it was an area that was not controlled by the Spanish empire during the Roman era, related to Real Madrid and Barcelona politically, these two regions in Spain often experienced ups and downs in political conflicts because this was not only outside the field, sometimes the rivalry between these tribes was also carried into the field where often high-tension matches and no one wants to lose.

Because this concerns the prestige of its citizens. That's why the match between Real Madrid vs Barcelona is often called El Clasico because the background of a rivalry between these two teams is related to something in their history which is a very classic thing.

Manchester United vs Liverpool (North West derby)

In contrast to the rivalry in Spain, the rivalry between the two teams was basically due to economic problems where in the 1800s Liverpool was a city with a large port in England where the entry and exit of imported goods often passed through the city of Liverpool, aware of that the Liverpool government decided to impose a tax on goods. imports coming from the north-west region either in the city of Liverpool or Manchester.

Objecting to this, the mayor of Manchester finally decided to make a port in the City of Manchester himself because he was aware that the taxes given by the Liverpool government were rather heavy to be paid by some shippers to the north-west of England, and finally decided to export goods directly to the city of Manchester. Because of this, there are a lot of Liverpool residents.

who eventually lost their jobs in line with the decrease in goods entering the city. Because of this, tension and revenge are still embedded today and the hot atmosphere is carried over into the match between Liverpool and Manchester United.

This was more heated when Liverpool, which previously had a team that dominated the Premier League, slowly began to be disturbed by its superiority when Sir Alex was able to overtake the number of Premier League titles with 20 titles compared to the 19 currently owned by Liverpool.

Inter Milan vs AC Milan (Della Madonnina derby)

Meanwhile in Italy, one of the famous derbies actually comes from the same territory and the same city, namely Milan, the rivalry between these two teams also occurs because of the assumption about the origin of the formation of the club where the AC Milan football team was formed by workers from Milan while Inter Milan was founded. in 1908 and instantly being great at that time could rival greatness.

AC Milan because it was formed by the upper class from Milan, namely upper class entrepreneurs, because of its economic strength, Inter Milan can compete with the greatness of AC Milan and break the domination of the Italian red devil.

Red Star Belgrade vs Partizan Belgrade (Eternal Derby)

Where the Chetniks came from elite citizens in Serbia and because of the mastery of communist ideology that entered Yugoslavia, a team called Red Star Belgrade was formed where in the symbol alone there is a star symbol on a red background which indicates this team was formed by elite communists while Partizan Belgrade formed by the lower middle class and came from various farmers.

Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund (Der Klassiker)

While this rivalry in Germany occurs solely because of an achievement in football, there is no significant prestige or friction between the two territories of Dortmund and Munich.

There were even times when the economically stable Bayern Munich helped Dortmund, who at that time was almost bankrupt.
