I'm an avid football fan and in a recent master's program I focused my studies on analyzing the effects of football on European nationalism. The deeper I dug into the topic, the more mesmerized I was to find out to what extreme the sport is imbedded in European culture. In fact, I was able interviews with some of the same people Richard Fitzpatrick interviewed for his book, which I thought was kind of cool. With that in mind, I was really looking forward to reading this book and for the most part it did not disappoint. However, there are sections of the book which feel like you're picking up a newspaper the day after a big match and you're reading the play by play from the day before. I guess if you're not familiar with the sport or the matches being recounted then it's something that may be appealing. However, if you're familiar with this rivalry then reading almost entire chapters on the play by play of a match gets you a little side tracked. But I guess this is done to put things into context for those not familiar with those events.Pros: Easy read, unbiased for the most part and good for either the avid fan or someone trying to learn about the rivalry and its history.Cons: Just a bit too much of play by play recount. Would have liked see more of the analytical implications of the rivalry in the current political/economic climate in Spain. Also, there are sections of the book that appear to be catering strictly to Real Madrid fans. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very informative and must read for fans of both teams *by P***L on November 14, 2012* Its really well written book with recent and past insight of spanish football.All the aspects including Political, social or regional are mentioned with good reference.In a nutshell very nice one to have. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You don't need to have an affiliation to Barca or RM to love this *by M***K on November 28, 2012* I didn't really follow Spanish football so I was not sure if this would be of interest to me, but picked it up in a book store and read a page or two and thought I would get it for my Kindle.The book had me hooked from the start, it gets into the scandal, uproar, controversies and folklore of the clubs. This history is brilliantly weaved together into a soap opera of a book. If you ever thought about a trip to the Camp Nou or Bernabeu for a game you need to read this first. It gets you into the mindset of their fans and explains the different self image of the two clubs and their sets of fans --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/1624463-el-clasico-barcelona-v-real-madrid-footballs-greatest-rivalry](https://www.desertcart.us/products/1624463-el-clasico-barcelona-v-real-madrid-footballs-greatest-rivalry) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-10*
