Last weekend I was able to watch the Clasico online. The clasico is probably one of the best rivalries in sports. Barcelona and Real Madrid are the 2 teams in the clasico. They play el clasico twice a year. What make this rivalry so unique, is that Barcelona is the capital of Catalunya. It is an spanish province that has some peaceful independent movements going on. They claim that they don't share many cultural features with spanish people, they even have their own language (catalan). While Real Madrid represents the spanish capitol. They also represent spanish pride in this kind of game. They played in Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. The game was sold out. 90,000 people were able to get tickets to this game. This time (unfortunately) Barcelona won 0-2. I have to admit that their football (soccer) style right now is just amazing. Hopefully Real Madrid is able to catch up before the end of the season
