The History of El Clasico

This match between Spain's top teams usually only happens a few times a year. El Clasico is a major event for citizens of both Spain and Barcelona, as well their countless millions of fans spread out across the globe. Even those who aren't particular fans of either team will be tuning in to witness some of the best football to be played this year, but the origins of this celebrated event have a little more to do with just football dating back to a particularly troublesome time in Spanish history.

Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that to the Spanish and Catalan fans of each team, soccer was more than just a sport. During the Spanish Civil War, in which the ruler of Spain issued a blanket ban on Catalan culture, the Barcelona vs. Madrid football games began to get a little more heated. Fans of both teams represented either side of a heated political conflict that had reached its boiling point.

Barcelona fans accused Madrid of supporting an oppressive regime.  Today the conflict is over, but the matches between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid remain as suspenseful as ever. Show your allegiance with a Barcelona or Real Madrid Champions League jersey to wear to the upcoming game, where the top two football clubs in the world go head to head to find out who the top club in Spain really is.

Cuarto Clasicos A Four Part Showdown

The last time Spain saw such a massive month in their national sport was in 2011, when there were four El Clasico events in 17 days.  During this time, the sports press exploded into a frenzy of coverage, speculating on everything from match outcomes, to what sort of mishaps would occur on the field. It was a hectic and exciting time for fans of both sides, but the way it ended shocked just about everyone.

The four game grudge match ended almost entirely unresolved, with one win to each team and two draws. The fan reaction was unprecedented, with supporters on both sides anxious to settle the score. Since then, several more El Clasico events have taken place, but none on such a large scale. This year's season offers a chance to put an end to the conspicuously climactic end of the last Cuatro Clasico event. Show your team spirit with a Real Madrid Champions League jersey, or a Barcelona FC football shirt from the Soccer Box shop.
