Classicos and local derbies around the world

[BlackSocksRedTops 3,739]

I see that Boca and River Plate have reached the final of the Copa Libertadores over in South America. (This is equivelant of Rangers v Celtic in the Champions League final). It made me think of classicos and derbies around the world as this match has always been on my bucket list for football viewing. I just wondered if anyone had experienced this game personally or had been to any of the other big classicos/derbies?

 

My top 5 bucket list would be:

Boca V River Plate

Inter V AC Milan

Barca V Real

Fenerbache V Galatasaray

Al Ahly V Zamalek (Cairo derby)

You missed out Elgin City v inverness caley.

 

Actually, not really. The caley were never able to live up to it.

Auchinleck Talbot v Cumnock ?

Any West Ham v Millwall great atmosphere.

Millwall v Charlton Athletic.

The OP names a few big ones around the world. Id love to go to Boca v River Plate. That will be some final. If one of those two play a Brazilian side in the Copa L then its huge. There can be some hostile ones in Holland, Sweden and Russia.

 

On Friday night there is a bit of a big one in Yorkshire, the Sheffield Derby.

 Into injury time and it's 1-0 to SA.

 

Details are sketchy but reports suggest that the Yeman squad are all still alive at this moment in time.
