Why is the century derby exclusively called the Spanish national derby (Real Madrid vs Barcelona)?

The match between Real Madrid and Barcelona is regarded as a war between two different cultures and languages. This can be traced back to hundreds of years ago, when two ancient kingdoms, Stiehler and Catalonia, were opposed, and it was these two kingdoms that formed the present Spain. Real Madrid is the capital of Stiehler, while Barcelona is the power center of Catalonia. Although the two countries have been unified now, after General Francisco Franco ruled Spain, he tried to destroy Catalonia's language and culture. Catalan was outlawed, but it survived in a special environment: the Camp Nou stadium in Barcelona. This stadium has become a very formal gathering place of Catalan culture, and the success of Barcelona Club is also regarded as a form of political expression.

In the 197s, after Franco's death, this tension was eased, people could speak Catalan freely, and some schools even offered courses to teach Catalan.

The rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona reached its climax in the match, and winning the match was almost the only goal of the two clubs throughout the season. The pressure of teaching in such a club can be imagined, and the coaches of both clubs are very clear about the order of their tasks: 1) to finish the season in front of their opponents; 2) win the league championship; 3) Show your strength in Europe. Bobby Robson, the current head coach of Newcastle United in the Premier League, lost his job a few years ago because Barcelona finished second behind Real Madrid, even though he led his team to win the King's Cup of Spain and the European Cup Winners' Cup.

For the Spanish people, Barcelona VS Real Madrid is such an important social event that they have to put other things in order to avoid a collision with this game. Of course, this is also thanks to the media's exaggeration. They often label the match between the two teams as "divine retribution", and every year Barcelona VS Real Madrid will set a new viewing record. However, the dispute between lips and lips often goes to war before the coach and players fight for the real knife. For example, they always complain that the referee is partial to each other.

There is no doubt how the fans will react when one side is badly hit by the other. In January 1994, under the leadership of Brazilian star romario, after Barcelona beat Real Madrid 5 -, the slogan "5-" was everywhere in Madrid. But a year later, the score was reversed and the same slogan appeared in the streets of Barcelona.

Barcelona dominated in the 199s. They won the La Liga championship six times, including the last two. Real Madrid won the first three titles, and Atletico Madrid (another deadly enemy of Real Madrid) won the championship in 1996. Both clubs have won the highest honor in Europe in the past ten years: Real Madrid won the European Champions Cup in 199 8 and Barcelona was the champion in 1992.

The rivalry between the two clubs has also spread to other competitive fields, including basketball. Unlike the United States, many top European clubs are involved in less than one sport, and Real Madrid and Barcelona are no exception. They both sent teams to participate in Spain's top professional basketball leagues.

Even sports that are not involved in the two clubs will be affected by the hostile state. A few years ago, when Barcelona Dragons participated in the European professional football league, they encountered a problem: their green home shirts were washed by the laundry, which meant that they would have to wear white away shirts at home games, and white belongs to Real Madrid. Dragons are considering postponing the game and even want to exchange jerseys with visiting teams. Finally, they decided to explain to the audience-Real Madrid fans in the stands shouted that only their teams can wear white shirts.

With the escalation of the struggle between Barcelona and Real Madrid, their strength has also risen, making them the two greatest clubs in history. From this point of view, it is a sports blessing.
