Oh my gosh! Thank you! I got tired of people accusing this historic derby of "not being the same" following Ronaldo's departure from Real Madrid. It was great before they existed and it'll be great after they're gone. Anyone who thinks otherwise I'd argue hasn't been watching football long. That said... We need that Messi vs Ronaldo: roots of the rivalry video. 👀
Having grown up in the last decade, El Classico was to me a battle of greats and rivalries. Messi vs Ronaldo, Pique vs Ramos. Rivalries like that made El Classico very excited iconic to me.
I would say that for the most part this vid is accurate and well versed. Barça has such a rich history and it’s very difficult to sum it up as well as this video does. I would have to point out 1 inaccuracy. On the topic of Franco having some good relation with Barça, I think it’s very crucial to point out that, at that point, FCB was CFB. In other words. The team pretty much belonged to Franco and the central government. That’s why you have the name change from Football Club Barcelona to Club de Futbol Barcelona. So that administration that got along with Franco was, actually, put there by Franco. At that moment in history it was symbolically dictated by Franco. It was no longer really Barça. All this, was done in efforts to simulate a “good intentions” propaganda. In reality these “good things” were an attempt to coerce the Catalan population into assimilating into Spanish culture. I enjoyed the vid! Thank you
Ricardo Morales, thanks for mentioning this fact, it has been somehow "forgotten" by some of the Barcelona directives, probably as a stain in the team history.
List of football rivalies I'd love to see you do. My top 5 1. North London Derby (Spurs-Arsenal) 2. Old Firm (Celtic-Rangers) 3. Manchester United-Liverpool 4. Alecito Madrid-Real Madrid 5. Bayern-Dortmound
Jason Brandyberry Bayern-Dortmund is hardly a derby, it’s more of a newly emerged derby with not much past. It’s come up in recent years because they’ve lately been the top teams in German football
I was surprised to learn that Real's coach was a goalkeeper for Barca for 3 years. Not so much that he played for FCB, but that a keeper became a coach of a top team.
Adrian, you have summarised very accurately the rivalry of both teams. The perception in Spain and Catalonia is that, RM is the team of the regime (the Spanish stablishment, or Spanish pride) and Barcelona is perceived as the Catalan National team. The political implications are still there: they wave Spanish flags during the matches at Bernabeu, and Catalan independence flags in Camp Nou, with chants of "In-de-pen-den-cia" at the minute 17:14 of each part.
"Spain and Catalonia", as if they were different places 🥴 Spain is a state, Catalonia is a region (nation, perhaps?) within that state. A different place to Catalonia would be Castile, where Madrid is located (in fact Real Madrid's second team is called Real Madrid Castilla). There are Catalans who think they are just Catalan and the rest of the country are just Spaniards, but lots of people in Catalonia and most people in the rest of Spain don't see it like that, I tell you. In fact, Spain must be one of the countries with the highest number of separatist or regionalist parties, it seems there's at least one in each fuckin' region 😂 You're right about Real Madrid being perceived as the team of the regime, or "el equipo del gobierno', though. Even lots of Atlético fans see it that way.
@@Kongorlobo Learn some history, Kongorlobo... Catalonia is an occupied territory for 3 centuries. Read historic facts, not the forged history lessons from Castille
@@amirsanchez8193 You learn some history, Cataluña has never been independent, it has always been part of the corona of aragon that got unified with Castilla and after generations created what we know as Spain nowadays, stop spreading missinformation and read a fucking book of history not created by your nationalists politicians.
@@amirsanchez8193 What he was telling you is that a Spanish nation separated of a Catalan or Basque one doesn't properly exist. Real Madrid is a Castilian team, and it could be seen as a representative of the Spanish state or of a certain Spanish nationalism.
Brilliant video as always. But I was also expecting you to explain the origin of the Barcelona logo, like you did with the AC Milan logo. Both of those logos seem to have that St. George's cross-like thing on their respective club badges and I was intrigued to know if their origins were similar to one another. Thanks again.
Great video mate!👏🏽 I applaud you for your accurate recognition to the greatest player to ever wear the mythical white shirt.⚪️ Most people seem to forget that.
Ok, so you forget to mention Atlético Aviación, now known as Atlético de Madrid, whose board of directors was formed by exclusively military generals. You also forget to mention how Santiago Bernabéu use to visit Spanish exiles like Don Juan de Borbón, who Franco hated. Lastly, you mention how Franco help FCB build the Camp Nou and how he was honored by FCB several times. Franco saved FCB economically. Then again, you fail to mention how Real Madrid didn't win a Liga title between 1933 and 1954 and how FCB won 9 Copas del Generalísimo and Real Madrid only 6. But you still say that Real Madrid was favored by Franco...
Was about to comment something like that. The “real madrid was facored by Franco” is the biggest myth about Real out there and this guys just says it like its true. Its obviously he heard something about it and just clicked the first thing that popped up in google
@@maverickSk10 No he's just honest. Barca simply have a better team at the moment and are on better form. You can bullshit all you want and say Real will win but that's your heart talking not your brain. Madrid have scored 1 goal in the last 5 matches, and it's at the Camp Nou. No doubt it will be a hard match for Barca (El Clasico is rarely a walk in the park) but I expect us to get 3 points.
Why do you care about plastic fans, this is entertainment point blank. Why some people are entertained doesn't matter; what does, because the numbers of entertained people are so big, the teams can buy the services of the best players. God, you purity guys are insufferable, good football is what is important appreciate that and don't care about silly things.
I am SO glad I found this channel! I have been binge watching for the past hour and so. Subscribed halfway through the first video. Amazing stuff! Please do LFC vs MUFC rivalry.
Speaking of catalonia's fight for independence, I was actually there for the first vote when they Barça had to play without supporters in the stadium. Also, I walked through the crowds of people waving flags and they are very peaceful.
Adrian, I am big fan of yours. The way you express your views incredibly impress me and i am sure every audience. I love you so much,hope to meet you someday😇
New to your channel and I’ve gone down an awesome rabbit hole with these “Roots of the Rivalry” videos👍 That Di Stefano video sounds like it would be interesting🙌
Franco's daughter said it in an interview and the delusional Barca fans can't stop with their nonsense. Franco even helped Barcelona to not go bankrupt. Franco used the rivalry for political gain and as a distraction from his failed policies. His daughter said he wasn't even much of a football fan. Barcelona fans are the worst.
@@uncleiroh2319 the team is full of Catalans that are delusional and poor sportsmen, this even effects the players that didn't go up at the club. I tell Barca fans, if the referee is bought by Real Madrid why do you watch? I never get a real answer, they make the rivalry unbearable. There is literally no win by Real Madrid that didn't evolve some sort of corruption, not a referee making bad calls or mistakes, but corruption. When I ask about games that favor Barcelona, it becomes a monologue full of delusion, distortions, and distractions. When confronted with the phenomena of being called UEFALONA by the British fans, they try to say it's pushed by Real fans, so I point out that it started with Chelsea in 2009 and it soon will go to every grievance against Real Madrid. I even say, why would European football accommodate a fascist like Franco, his economy was terrible and his army couldn't do anything and they were going to appease him by fixing matches of a player that should have been in a Barcelona Jersey, what is it Franco fixed the matches or Real had the best player on the planet? It's endless and tiresome, they are worse than pathetic. Atletico fans are jerks but sports jerks nothing more, they cross the line but they aren't these types of mental cases.
@@uncleiroh2319 sorry to disagree, this isn't a both sides do it situation. Barcelona fans won't concede anything. No rivalry in sports has this level delusional mistrust. They literally would believe if Real Madrid beat a 6 year old girls team, the referee was bought.

@@michaelbarquero6079 dude there are a lot of madrid fans like this I have seen, as a barca fan I sometimes think that these both teams get some more benefit from referee in UCL, like barca vs Chelsea, or madrid vs Bayern. The only thing I hate about RMA fans is they use that 11-1 game in debates which everyone knows the match was fixed, otherwise it's fine.
Love this series dude, keep on making it cause it s very interesting. Also here are some requests for you re future vids: fc sevilla - betis, valencia - levante, fenerbahce - galatasaray, marseille - psg , dortmund - schalke and the rivalries in south america like river - boca ,independiente - racing club, flamengo - botafogo , santos - corinthians , sao paulo - corinthians and so on. I m sure you can find very juicy historic information regarding these games.
Hey, that's a quite informative and interesting piece to watch. Thanks a lot for covering the history of derbies in such a way. Now will you please publish one with enlightening the conspicuous move of de Stefano to Madrid?
Just finished the video. You might want to work on your Spanish pronunciations. Also, since El Clásico is very popular with so many dimensions to why it is so fierce, looking into the further developments of the rivalry may be interesting. I didn’t even know Di Stefano was originally a Barcelona player.
Appreciated, will maybe do a Part 2 in the future! I gotta say though, the "pronunciation" comments that people leave all over videos on RUclips have gotta be the weakest/most annoying things out there. If someone is absolutely butchering names to the point where it's insulting? Fair enough! But if they are trying and falling short, I truly don't care. For example, I personally wouldn't go watch a video by an Indian guy and be like "wow dude, work on your pronunciation of English words!" Or if a Mexican guy did a video on the history of Canada and pronounced Vancouver as "Bancouber," I wouldn't say anything to him either, because why should I expect the perfect pronunciation of something that isn't in his native tongue? He did his best, I understood him, I move on, I literally don't even think twice about it. However, it's interesting how when the roles are reversed, people don't hesitate to say "WOW WORK ON YOUR PRONUNCIATION LMAO," (not saying you said it like that btw, but most do) when a dude whose first language is English, and his pronunciation of Spanish words gets muddied up with his French pronunciation from school. So, I've just decided to do my best, and ignore those comments. 🙃🙃 haha you were the lucky first recipient of my opinion on the matter.
ilocosmetro this is why I can't support real. They're like the greatest bully in football. I prefer a little less bullying This was too much bullying for me
By all means, enjoy Rabona TVs content, but for a deeper understanding of the rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona, I would recommend "Fear and loathing in La Liga" by Sid Lowe and "Morbo - the story of Spanish football" by Phil Ball.
Both great recommendations sir! As a Spanish I tell you, they really go in depth with this matter and portray a much more realistic view of El Clásico and both teams than most of this kind of videos
Well researched however, you forgot the assassination of the Barcelona club president in the Civil war. He was stopped in his official car at a barrier. Barcelona flags were on view. He wad shot and killed at close range. Los cule have not forgotten. How could you miss that?
Franco had nothing to do with di Stefano going to RM. it was due to complicated ownership rights in South America and Barca stupidly negotiating with the wrong team. It’s also important to point out that Franco was an Atletico Madrid (Atletico Avion as they were known at the time) fan and only started using Real Madrid during the 50’s due to success in the European Cup.
How about the kolkata derby? mohun bagan vs east bengal ... no1 really sheds light into it even though it is also around a 100 years old rivalry... and u seem to be a very very very dedicated creater.... keep up the great work also its an Kolkata which is like the football heart and soul of India ... and it happens so that i am from kolkata and i am willing to provide u with any knowledge u would require for the video... also its India ... lots of people ... good for the channel ... u know yseries vs lew li pie thingy
Great video brother. Hey, this week will be an El Clasiço without both the legends of the game for the first time since 2009 I believe. Great content though 👏👏👏 Waiting for more #RootsoftheRivalry 💥
The fact people still use this as an excuse to be ass holes to one another is ridiculous. This happened over 60 years ago and people still hate each other over it. Let it go- the very spirit that Francisco Franco wanted to instill into people and this division is precisely what is still going on today and is very much keeping him satisfied in his grave... and the sad part is it's happening through a sport. It's okay for there to be rivalry cause these are the 2 best clubs in the world and they want to beat each other, but the amount of hate I see from people is ridiculous.
Another good video. It kind of fits nicely with Copa 90's Derby Days series. If you haven't already check it out, they go to the games meet the fans and sample the atmosphere.
so basically real madrid is exactly what everyone else other than real fans think of them.time has passed but their attitude of arrogance, trickery and shallowness remains.
CREME FRAICHE in last 10 yr real has managed one la liga.again,after VAR what's the real's position in league table? at the moment real is holding on to qualify for uefa next year acc to their league standing. Now with VAR how many of those uefa cup real would have won anyway.so you better memorize and tell your children stories of all the past glory if real because with VAR in both uefa and league, real ain't gonna win shit. 😁😁
There is no Messi vs Ronaldo argument if you realize they have pretty close stats, but Messi is 3 years younger. If we compare Messi’s stats to Ronaldo at the same age, there is a noticeable disparity. People do not wanna acknowledge it now, but in another 5 years it will be a glaring truth. Ronaldo is/was awesome, but if you watch them both play, there is no contest to Messi’s superiority. They eye test and their stats at the same age dont lie.
Adrian, these are really good. Can you do West Ham United V Millwall, Liverpool, Everton, Man Utd, Man City and Boca Juniors and their local rivals....
This was good mate, short and concise. El Classico will always be political though. Too many people on either side don't like the others. Do Celtic Rangers next ( partly cause I am curious how you will be able to get everything in a short vid :P. But also so that people get to know football roots better)
You guys need to do the more intense rivalry of Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid. Also at some point, a Seville derby would be awesome to see a video about. That’s such an interesting rivalry where the fans can’t stand each other.
It is far from being as black and white. It's true Barça has always been closer to Catalan nationalism than Espanyol, but there have always been culers who feel both Catalan and Spanish and the club also has lots of followers from the rest of Spain. More or less the same can be said about Espanyol (although this club is not as popular in the rest of Spain, not even in Catalonia). Dual identities Catalan/Spanish were always the most common ones in Barcelona and most of Catalonia. Although of course a Catalan native speaker who feels both Catalan and Spanish sees Spain probably in a different way than a Spanish nationalist in Madrid. Historically Catalan nationalism itself wasn't even as openly independentist as it is now.
Thanks for watching, everyone!

However, it's interesting how when the roles are reversed, people don't hesitate to say "WOW WORK ON YOUR PRONUNCIATION LMAO," (not saying you said it like that btw, but most do) when a dude whose first language is English, and his pronunciation of Spanish words gets muddied up with his French pronunciation from school.
So, I've just decided to do my best, and ignore those comments. 🙃🙃 haha you were the lucky first recipient of my opinion on the matter.
Rabona TV Come to think of it, pointing out a mispronunciation is a bit of “nitpick” when I think about it. Thank’s for changing my mind on that.
Haha no problem m888.
ilocosmetro he never was a Barcelona player I mean real literally stoled him from Barcelona before he could even put a shirt on
ilocosmetro this is why I can't support real. They're like the greatest bully in football. I prefer a little less bullying
This was too much bullying for me
By all means, enjoy Rabona TVs content, but for a deeper understanding of the rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona, I would recommend "Fear and loathing in La Liga" by Sid Lowe and "Morbo - the story of Spanish football" by Phil Ball.
Both great recommendations sir! As a Spanish I tell you, they really go in depth with this matter and portray a much more realistic view of El Clásico and both teams than most of this kind of videos
Well researched however, you forgot the assassination of the Barcelona club president in the Civil war. He was stopped in his official car at a barrier. Barcelona flags were on view. He wad shot and killed at close range. Los cule have not forgotten. How could you miss that?
great video , very informative
Franco had nothing to do with di Stefano going to RM. it was due to complicated ownership rights in South America and Barca stupidly negotiating with the wrong team. It’s also important to point out that Franco was an Atletico Madrid (Atletico Avion as they were known at the time) fan and only started using Real Madrid during the 50’s due to success in the European Cup.
Exactly - a cynical, fascist, arrogant, opportunist.
Celtic v Rangers is a must Old Firm is the biggest and best rivalry in the world!
I love your videos man
Amazing video 🤩
nicely articulated.
Back here after watching Seville Derby video
How about the kolkata derby? mohun bagan vs east bengal ... no1 really sheds light into it even though it is also around a 100 years old rivalry... and u seem to be a very very very dedicated creater.... keep up the great work
also its an Kolkata which is like the football heart and soul of India ...
and it happens so that i am from kolkata and i am willing to provide u with any knowledge u would require for the video...
also its India ... lots of people ... good for the channel ... u know yseries vs lew li pie thingy
Great video brother. Hey, this week will be an El Clasiço without both the legends of the game for the first time since 2009 I believe. Great content though 👏👏👏
Waiting for more #RootsoftheRivalry 💥
The fact people still use this as an excuse to be ass holes to one another is ridiculous. This happened over 60 years ago and people still hate each other over it. Let it go- the very spirit that Francisco Franco wanted to instill into people and this division is precisely what is still going on today and is very much keeping him satisfied in his grave... and the sad part is it's happening through a sport. It's okay for there to be rivalry cause these are the 2 best clubs in the world and they want to beat each other, but the amount of hate I see from people is ridiculous.
Amen to that, hermano.
Nice job
Another good video. It kind of fits nicely with Copa 90's Derby Days series. If you haven't already check it out, they go to the games meet the fans and sample the atmosphere.
These videos are great.
so basically real madrid is exactly what everyone else other than real fans think of them.time has passed but their attitude of arrogance, trickery and shallowness remains.
Avinash Tiwari fill our 13 european cups with your barka tearq
CREME FRAICHE in last 10 yr real has managed one la liga.again,after VAR what's the real's position in league table? at the moment real is holding on to qualify for uefa next year acc to their league standing. Now with VAR how many of those uefa cup real would have won anyway.so you better memorize and tell your children stories of all the past glory if real because with VAR in both uefa and league, real ain't gonna win shit. 😁😁
8-2
These rivalry videos are awesome, dude. You should do one for Juventus vs Inter, il Derby d'Italia. It would make for a fantastic video.
8:25 It is still a strange thing to think about that Spain played football tournaments while the rest of Europe and the world was in the middle if war
We believe in our capitan ( Ramos)
And kroos is world class
Let's all trust Zidane and
' Hala madrid y nada mas '
cool series can't wait for english and german rivalries
Great video
Loving your series. You should do the Derby of eternal enemies Olympiacos vs Panathinaikos, or the Salonika derby PAOK vs Aris. Just suggesting.
@RabonaTV Why haven't you made an episode on "Manchester Derby" yet?
There is no Messi vs Ronaldo argument if you realize they have pretty close stats, but Messi is 3 years younger. If we compare Messi’s stats to Ronaldo at the same age, there is a noticeable disparity. People do not wanna acknowledge it now, but in another 5 years it will be a glaring truth. Ronaldo is/was awesome, but if you watch them both play, there is no contest to Messi’s superiority. They eye test and their stats at the same age dont lie.
Adrian, these are really good. Can you do West Ham United V Millwall, Liverpool, Everton, Man Utd, Man City and Boca Juniors and their local rivals....
Appreciate it Ollie! I'll cover some British teams in the future for sure, but up next: Boca vs River Plate.
I love your videos..
I can't find the video of Sporting and Benfica anywhere. Was it taken down?
Do the di Stefano video. A really interesting time in the rivalry
Do one on the old firm
This was good mate, short and concise. El Classico will always be political though. Too many people on either side don't like the others.
Do Celtic Rangers next ( partly cause I am curious how you will be able to get everything in a short vid :P. But also so that people get to know football roots better)
The way you read the “N” in Spanish it’s only correct if it is this “Ñ”, the normal “N” is read just like in English
What song did you use in the background at 4:59 ??????? I really like it 🤩🤩🤩
do the north London derby
1943 -- 3-0 to 11- 1, that means Real Madrid has been cheating since.
It was never 3-0 kiddo. Plus there was never proof that Real cheated sooo yeah
Then why haven't Madrid won every classico since you idiot
@@NikhilVasishtR it kinda does lol. If there's no proof, then those a mere claims without evidence
Jup Jones because they can’t threaten people that way anymore you ignorant twat
el bichotron xl this is a white man's way of rewriting history... Proof. Scmoof
You guys need to do the more intense rivalry of Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid. Also at some point, a Seville derby would be awesome to see a video about. That’s such an interesting rivalry where the fans can’t stand each other.
Hey .. this aint bad , i subbed
Can you do a video about the Chivas-America rivalry?
some Madrid fans are so proud they beat Barça 11-1 shame on you
Watching this one day before the El Clasico!
Jajajaja Copa de la Gran Pena can translate literally to Cup of the Great Sorrow/Shame.
Franco was an Atletico Madrid fan and really didn't like Real Madrid
I'm sorry but the small explanation of the Civil War is absolutely flawed
Mohun Bagan vs East Bengal, please? A rivalry that is driven tremendously through geopolitics
Well done Adrian! I like how you mentioned the Luis Figo transfer at the end, and all what I need to say about that is PAPA PEREZ😂😂
hey, where is the lisbon derby video? I dont see it and I want to know more.
Mes que un club. More than a club. Barça represents catalonia. Also do Barça-Espanyol rivalry and its catalonian identity vs spanish identity.
Más*
It is far from being as black and white. It's true Barça has always been closer to Catalan nationalism than Espanyol, but there have always been culers who feel both Catalan and Spanish and the club also has lots of followers from the rest of Spain. More or less the same can be said about Espanyol (although this club is not as popular in the rest of Spain, not even in Catalonia). Dual identities Catalan/Spanish were always the most common ones in Barcelona and most of Catalonia. Although of course a Catalan native speaker who feels both Catalan and Spanish sees Spain probably in a different way than a Spanish nationalist in Madrid. Historically Catalan nationalism itself wasn't even as openly independentist as it is now.
