History of El Clasico

Any football match between rival clubs Barcelona and Real Madrid is named El Clasico. The rivalry between these two football clubs and their match heats up the world of football fans on the planet.

This is one of the biggest football games in the world and among the most viewed annual sporting events after UEFA Champions League Final. These teams clash in leagues like Spanish Championship, UEFA Champions League, Copa del Rey, and LaLiga. Madrid and Barcelona are the two largest cities in Spain, and they are sometimes identified with opposing political positions.

Real Madrid is viewed as representing Spanish nationalism and Barcelona is viewed as representing Catalan nationalism. The two clubs are among the richest and most successful football clubs in the world. Catalonia suffered desperately under the fascist rule in Spain. So the Catalans use this opportunity for expressing their identity as well as to revenge on those who have oppressed them.

El Clasico without Messi and Ramos after 16 years

Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos hold the record of the most appearances in El Clasico. Both players played the most important match in Spain 45 times. For the first time in 16 years, the El Clasico match will be played without the presence of either Sergio Ramos or Lionel Messi. Both Messi and Ramos have left Spanish football and joined Ligue
1 with Paris Saint-Germain ( PSG).

After having been rivals for years in El Clasico, Messi and Ramos are now playing as teammates at PSG. Ramos has been in Real Madrid since 2005 and Messi entered Barcelona as a junior team since 2000. Messi who spent 21 years in Barcelona and Ramos together left their club this season.

But majority believe that the significance, history, and excitement of the games won’t be affected due to the absence of its particular players. The captain of Real Madrid, Karim Benzema states that El Clasico is historic and its popularity is increasing every day.

“It doesn’t matter about the players who are there, who have left, or who will join. Real Madrid vs Barcelona is historic.” Karim Benzema said. He added, “The names change but Real Madrid vs Barcelona will always be Real Madrid vs Barcelona, the biggest game in the world”.

Such assumptions were made during the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid 3 years back, but the significance and glory of El Clasico remained the same.
