#3 Superclasico
Having once been considered “the number one sporting event to attend before you die”, this rivalry between two neighbourhoods of the city of Buenos Aires, Boca Juniors and River Plate, is the apotheosis of Football derbies. The competitive and intense atmosphere that is shared between the two sides speak volumes about the impact football has had on people’s lives.
The ferocity on the pitch and phenomenal support from the fans has more than just football to be accredited to. Boca is a club of the Dockland area which represents the working class whereas River hail from the affluent Belgrano Cartier.
Currently, Boca holds a commanding lead in head to head competitions having won 126 matches to River’s 107 wins in addition to the 106 draws that took place. Every meeting is played out in a febrile atmosphere of extreme noise, resentfulness, strident bravado and not infrequent violence.
