Why do fans of Barcelona and Real Madrid always quarrel and curse each other?

A hundred years have accumulated the glorious history of the two clubs Real Madrid and Barcelona. Historically, the contradiction between Madrid, which symbolizes the Spanish monarchy, and Barcelona, ??which yearns for freedom and radicalism, is irreconcilable. Madrid is the capital and political and cultural center of Spain, and Real Madrid defends the interests of the noble Spanish royal family; Barcelona is the starting point of Columbus's journey to the Americas, representing the avant-garde spirit of radicalness, bravery, and the courage to explore the unknown. Real Madrid and Barcelona are precisely the flags of two cities with huge historical hatred. Therefore, the competition on the football field is a continuation of the political, economic and national struggles between the two cities. This is doomed that in the more than 70 years of La Liga history, the competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona will not be peaceful. However, the decline in Barcelona's strength in recent years has made the world-famous Battle of the Century insufficient. Just like this game, Real Madrid's superstars can win as long as they perform normally. However, without Ronaldinho, Barcelona can't escape the shadow of defeat no matter how strong their fighting spirit is. .

La Liga was born more than 70 years ago in 1928, and Barcelona and Real Madrid also went through the same period of grievances. Although it is not difficult to trace the historical origins covered in the 90-minute game, as well as the local and central Political opposition and a sense of competition between the two cities, but it is increasingly difficult to distinguish between these confrontations and simple competition in sports. However, it is undeniable that whether they are politicians or fans, whether they are streakers or advertisers, they can find their respective sustenance in the "El Clasico" or the "Game of the Century".

Political opposition

Before the formation of Spain, Catalonia was already an independent country with a hundred-member parliament. During the 14th and 15th centuries, it developed into a Mediterranean commercial power and This resulted in social systems such as a merchant class and a banking system that were very different from the feudal system in other parts of Spain. As Spain developed the New World of America and carried out overseas colonial expansion, industrialized Catalonia also became the world's fourth largest manufacturing center in 1850.

In 1496, intermarriage between European royal families made Catalonia a part of Spain, but the political power and institutions that had existed for centuries were repeatedly suppressed in the next 300 years. In the 18th century In the middle period, it even lost its autonomy privileges. Thanks to the region's prosperity and its proud industry and commerce, a new sense of independence and a resurgence of nationalism in Catalonia was nurtured in the 19th century, after being maximally suppressed by Franco from 1939 to 1975. , the cultural renaissance movement to this day has become more and more spectacular along with political opposition and economic development.

In the cultural category, language and football have always played an extremely important role in revival and independence, and have become political supplements and continuations: Catalan, which has been banned for 36 years, has been transformed from "additional courses" "has become the language of instruction from primary schools to universities, and has even been upgraded to the official language of the region; football uses the Barcelona club as the only starting point. After maintaining a regional league with a longer history than La Liga, Barcelona takes this as an opportunity to " The name "Catalonia" and the "national" flag were truly introduced internationally, and the confrontation with Real Madrid was considered the greatest expression of the national spirit.

City Competition

It is no exaggeration to call Barcelona the link between the Iberian Peninsula and Western Europe. The city is almost the same as Paris, Rome and Madrid. The successful hosting of the 1992 Olympic Games made the "international city" style more mainstream, making it difficult for people to associate the capital Madrid with Spain. It was during this period that Barcelona also created a brilliant "Dream Team", breaking Real Madrid's monopoly by winning the La Liga championship for four consecutive years for the first time in history, and also won a Champions League. If the Olympic Games have caused Madridistas to lose face in urban competition, then the establishment of the "World Tourism Headquarters" has allowed them to regain their balance. Even if Catalonia is located between the Mediterranean Sea and the Pyrenees, it can evoke peace and harmony. Appease all people's sightseeing desires.

Barcelona VS Real Madrid's seven classic matchups in history. Barcelona and Real Madrid have played 143 games in the league. Barcelona has 55 wins, 27 draws and 62 losses. In addition, the last time the two sides met on November 24 last year, the game was suspended due to violence, and the outcome was not decided in the end, which also whetted the appetite for this contest between the two teams. The following are several classic battles in the history of the two sides:

The First Battle of the Century

On May 13, 1902, Real Madrid 1-3 Barcelona

At that time The Real Madrid club was only established for two months and seven days. The Los Blancos have the great player Juan Rubio as their leader. Although President Varela personally supervised the formation, Real Madrid unfortunately lost 1-3 in Spain. They were eliminated from the Copa del Rey, but that was just the beginning of the war. In the next 100 years, the stories between them will never be finished. Real Madrid players at that time included Padros, Mendia, Paramo, Rodero, Moreira, etc.

Argentine superstars lead the charge

Barcelona 3-5 Real Madrid in the 1960/61 season

The goals scored for Barcelona were Martinez, Villaverde and Kubala, Barcelona scored 3 goals at home for the first time but still failed to win. This is due to the Argentine Di Stefano and "Fireball" Gento in their peak period. It is the two of these two superstars. Barcelona lost their temper after scoring twice. Here, teenager Del Sol also contributed a goal for Real Madrid. Barcelona people should feel extremely regretful. Since losing to Real Madrid, not only did their wish to achieve three consecutive league championships fail, but it also greatly boosted the morale of the opponent. In the following five years, Real Madrid won five consecutive La Liga titles in one go, during which both sides After 10 encounters in the league, Real Madrid has the advantage with 9 wins and 1 loss. This period of history is also the capital that Real Madrid fans enjoy showing off in front of Barcelona fans.

Real Madrid’s only glorious time at Camp Nou

Barcelona 1-5 Real Madrid in the 1962/63 season

At that time, Real Madrid had just experienced the heyday of five consecutive Champions League titles. period, temporarily in a transitional period, but still showed no weakness in the face of its old enemy Barcelona. Puskas scored a hat trick, Di Stefano and Gento each scored a goal, and Barcelona only scored a consolation goal from Ray. . This game is also one of Real Madrid's most brilliant victories in Campano to date.

The lone wolf Romario is unstoppable

Barcelona beat Real Madrid 5-0 in the 1993/94 season

The "lone wolf" Romario scored a hat trick, now Jax coach Ronald Koeman and Spanish international Ivan Iglesias were the icing on the cake. Interestingly, Iglesias later became the head coach of Real Madrid. Barcelona's head coach at the time, Cruyff, then led his team to pursue the victory and win the fourth consecutive La Liga championship trophy. In the process of leading Barcelona to win 4 consecutive championships from 1991 to 1994, Cruyff's record against Real Madrid was 3 wins and 1 draw. Behind the Dutchman's glory were the bitter tears of Real Madrid.

It’s the same with or without Ronaldo

Barcelona 3-0 Real Madrid in the 1997/98 season

In the first season after Ronaldo defected to Inter Milan, Barcelona still didn’t let him go Passed Real Madrid and even scored two more goals than Ronaldo when he was in the team. Anderson, Figo and Giovanni scored the team's three goals. Barcelona fans could not imagine that the Portuguese Figo, who was worshiped as a god at the time, would defect to his old enemy Real Madrid two years later.

Enrique turned against him

Barcelona 3-0 Real Madrid in the 1998/99 season

Luis Enrique scored twice, and Rivaldo also scored One goal scored. A player who has played for Barcelona and Real Madrid, Enrique has put the ball into Real Madrid's goal three times, and it was Real Madrid that made him an international star in the early 1990s.

The Camp Nou hell baptized the traitor

Barcelona 2-0 Real Madrid in the 2000/01 season

The 100,000 spectators at Camp Nou who denounced the traitor spent their denunciation fees Ge is the first need, and Campano's placards, large and small, are sharp and murderous. At this moment, people have forgotten the cold autumn rain and just want to discuss the dignity of Barcelona. Before the game, the two presidents had a working dinner together, trying to show the friendly scene of the "old enemies" to the public, but they could not conceal the cruelty of this most watched football war in the world. But the game itself greatly exceeded people's expectations. Barcelona completely controlled the situation on the field from the first minute to the 95th minute (including 5 minutes of stoppage time). Real Madrid was out of shape except goalkeeper Casillas. In the 26th minute, Xavi took a free kick outside the penalty area and Luis Enrique broke through the net. In the 79th minute, Rivaldo shot a cold shot but was saved by Casillas. Alfonso's header went to the goal. Liang popped up, and Simang made up for the empty goal and scored. Barcelona's 2-0 lead continues into the 18th year of unbeaten Real Madrid at home.

After the game, Real Madrid coach Del Bosque said frankly: "There is nothing doubtful about today's result. Barcelona performed exceptionally. Real Madrid should accept the fact, but this is just a game in La Liga." , We don’t mean to lose anything.” Obviously, what Bosque wants to express is that for him, winning the league championship is more important than rewriting history. When the stars fell, Barcelona coach Ferrer came up with a surprise victory and made substitutions much more elegantly than in the past. His 3232 lineup would not be effective without the hard work of his players. He spoke highly of Portuguese Simao and Brazilian Rivaldo after the game.

The six famous "traitors" Zamora in the history of Barcelona and Real Madrid (Rebellion time: 1931)

Zamora, who was born on January 21, 1901, is even more famous than Real Madrid Even older, Spain's greatest goalkeeper died in Barcelona on September 18, 1978. In 1915, the 14-year-old young genius joined Barcelona and played until 1922. Later, he moved to the same city team Espanyol. In 1931, he switched to Real Madrid and played for Real Madrid for 5 seasons. At that time, the "Spanish Derby" was not as popular as it is today, and there were not many grievances and disputes artificially hyped. Today, when Real Madrid and Barcelona fans are struggling with the "traitor", many people have even forgotten this superstar who carved a legend in Spanish history.

Schuster (Rebellion time: 1988)

There are very few Germans who have succeeded in Spain, but Schuster, the "green prodigal son", is a living "case" . From 1980 to 1988, Schuster wandered to Barcelona and led the team to the La Liga championship in the 1984/85 season. However, his alternative personality caused his aura on the court to be undermined by his "evil behavior" off the court. As a result, the club chairman and head coach have become his "enemies", even going so far as to meet in court. In 1988, Schuster's contract expired and he defected to his arch-rival Real Madrid. Although he once again tasted the league championship in Real Madrid and occasionally showed impressive skills, his unruly personality determined that his career could only be limited to 10 games. It can end sadly. Older Real Madrid fans still feel a lot when they recall him: "He is the only star who dares to challenge the two giants of Barcelona and Real Madrid."

Mitchell Laudrup ( Time of rebellion: 1994)

This summer, as the assistant coach of the Danish team, the 38-year-old Laudrup witnessed the World Cup in South Korea and Japan. The world really got to know Laudrup in the 1985 Toyota Cup, when he scored two goals for Juventus and defeated the Argentinian youth team. From 1989 to 1994, Laudrup's five-year career in Barcelona further tempered him, during which he won 4 league championships and scored 40 goals in 166 appearances. In the 1994/95 season, Laudrup, who was approaching the twilight of his career, joined Real Madrid. , scored 12 goals in 62 appearances in two years, and still maintains strong combat effectiveness.

Enrique (rebellion time: 1996)

He is a true all-round player, from forward to center back, there is no position on the court that Enrique is not good at. Before 1996, he was the pride of Real Madrid. After switching from forward to midfielder, Enrique won the 1993 King's Cup championship and the 1995 La Liga championship with Real Madrid. In the summer of 1996, Enrique's transfer shocked the whole of Spain because his destination was Barcelona. The Catalans had some doubts at first, but when Enrique quickly proved himself with his performance on the field, all doubts of the doubters disappeared. In the 1998/99 season, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 3-0 at home. Enrique did not miss the old friendship and scored two goals in one breath. In the 2000/01 season, Enrique once again captured the gate of Real Madrid in Campano. Like Figo, Enrique's three goals against his former club were also at his "home court". Otherwise, I really don't know how he could have escaped unscathed. Unfortunately, Enrique has been sidelined for three weeks due to injury, and the main attacking midfielder position has gradually been replaced by Argentine magician Riquelme. In this battle of the century, Enrique could only sit in the audience of Campano. As a spectator, this is also the first time in 6 years since moving to Barcelona that he missed the "Spanish Derby".

Figo (Rebellion time: 2000)

On November 14, 2001, Figo gave his old club Barcelona a fatal blow at the Bernabeu. At that time, the game was already in progress. In stoppage time, Makelele and Zidane played a one-two against the wall and then passed the ball. Raul stuffed the ball. Figo followed up and shot through the Barcelona goal again, 2-0! This goal allowed Figo to end the boos and even curses of Campano fans that had been lingering in his ears for a year. At the same time, he also received the heartfelt cheers and blessings of the 100,000 fans at the Bernabeu. It is as simple as that. Between sinners and heroes Wandering in time, the Portuguese experienced the joy and sorrow of life. In the 1995/96 season, Figo came to Barcelona from Sporting Lisbon with two World Youth Championship titles (1989 U-17 and 1991 U-20). Cruyff's advice allowed Figo to quickly move from Barcelona to Barcelona. The star of hope transformed into a golden generation. However, after experiencing the regret of the 2000 European Championship, Figo defected to Real Madrid. This decision shocked the world. It seemed that only his mentor Cruyff and Real Madrid fans in the world supported his decision. . Cruyff's words warmed the Portuguese: "Don't be influenced by the environment. When you return to Campano, you should have a normal mind. You don't owe anyone anything." This time it was Figo's third Stepping onto Campano's turf again for the first time, perhaps the hatred of Catalans in the past is no longer so intense, but Figo's actions will still attract the attention of the world.

Ronaldo (time of rebellion: 2002)

"R9" was once a "phenomenon" of Barcelona and shined in La Liga for one season. In the 1996/97 season, England coach Robson They value this fan very much, and the aliens did not miss the opportunity to shine. The goal of the century against Valladolid is still unforgettable. It is worth noting that Ronaldo was awarded the FIFA World Player of the Year twice, in 1996 and 1997. This period was the "golden era" when R9 shined in Campano. It can be said that Barcelona created Ronaldo. , but Ronaldo, who scored 34 goals, failed to bring Barcelona the league championship. R9 has never performed at a level commensurate with his fame in Inter Milan. The news we hear about him time and time again is just a seemingly endless cycle of injury, injury, and injury. After the relationship with Cooper broke down, Real Madrid became his refuge. Florentino's idea of ????introducing a superstar every year was given time by Ronaldo. Although he returned to Iberia, R9 did not regain 5 years. It feels like before that, except for scoring twice against Alaves in his debut game and scoring one goal against Rayo Vallecano more than a week ago, cameramen rarely caught him on the court. At least for now, people only remember Ronaldo when he was wearing the red and blue jersey, not Real Madrid in white
