There had to be an incident from the famous El Clasico on the list. Real Madrid versus Barcelona is the most watched match in club football after the Champions League Final.

The fixture also invites some of the dirtiest moments in football that lack sportsman's spirit. One of them is the Portuguese defender Pepe deliberately stamping Lionel Messi's hand after a foul by Jose Callejon.

Pepe is at the top of his brutality when it comes to the El Clasico. Although he later apologised to Messi saying the foul was unintentional, the video seems to say otherwise.
