Manchester derby and football’s biggest local rivalries ranked by passion and ferocity, including Milan, Old Firm and north London
If you live in a city, like Glasgow or Manchester, where there is more than one team, you’ll know what it’s like on derby day.Actually, you’re probably well aware of what it’s like way before derby day, with the building up usually lasting an entire week and in some towns even longer.The Milan derby has always been a fiery occasion21
The Milan derby has always been a fiery occasion
Friendships are divided as club loyalty take over and here, talkSPORT.com looks at rivalries in football, from London to Liverpool, Manchester to Milan and beyond – focusing solely on local derbies – and assesses them by passion and ferocity, all while ignoring recent idiots who choose to ruin it for everyone.

20) Partizan Belgrade v Red Star Belgrade: Famous for violence disguised as football passion21
20) Partizan Belgrade v Red Star Belgrade: Famous for violence disguised as football passion – Both clubs were formed in the aftermath of World War II, with Partizan representing the army and Red Star the police. The latters European Cup success sets them apart, but to observers outside Serbia, football in the Eternal derby is secondary, with violence coming to define the fixture. In 2015 the game was delayed because of crowd trouble, which saw 35 police officers injured.
19) Bolivar v The Strongest: Famous for Altitude, intellectuals21
19) Bolivar v The Strongest: Famous for Altitude, intellectuals – Played at altitude in La Paz, Bolivias Clasico Paceno sees Club Bolivar, founded by intellectuals, take on The Strongest, a team of soldiers. The nerds, however, have the upper hand overall with 28 titles to their rivals 12.
18) Ijsselmeervogels v SV Spakenburg: Famous for Pigs, planes, pyrotechnics21
18) Ijsselmeervogels v SV Spakenburg: Famous for Pigs, planes, pyrotechnics – Planes overhead, fireworks, ticker tape galore, 70 per cent of the local town in attendance, and a pig on the pitch. Welcome to the Dutch third division, where the little village of Spakenburg in the north of Holland is split down the middle twice a year, and alcohol sales are banned across the whole village until the full-time whistle goes.
17) Aston Villa v Birmingham: Famous for emotion, occasional violence and Peter Enckelman 21
17) Aston Villa v Birmingham: Famous for emotion, occasional violence and Peter Enckelman Known as the Second City derby, Villa Park and St Andrews are about three miles apart and when they meet its usually memorable. In a 2003 match, there was a 21-man brawl, trouble in the stands, two red cards and Robbie Savage being substituted for his own safety having been headbutted by Dion Dublin. A year earlier Villa goalkeeper Encklemans gaffe saw him misjudge an Olof Mellberg throw-in as the ball trickled into his own net. In 2011 Alex McLeish angered both sets of fans when he left Birmingham to take over at Villa, while one fan was jailed for running onto the pitch and hitting Jack Grealish in 2019.
16) CSKA Moscow v Spartak Moscow: Famous for Political undertones21
16) CSKA Moscow v Spartak Moscow: Famous for Political undertones – Spartak are the peoples club. CSKA were the team of the Soviet Army, count the Russian Ministry of Defence as a shareholder and were once owned by Roman Abramovich. A case of the haves and the have-nots, then.
15) Barcelona SC v Emelec: Famous for League deciders, riots21
15) Barcelona SC v Emelec: Famous for League deciders, riots – The youngest of our featured games was born only in 1943, when the Guayaquil neighbours first locked horns in the Shipyard Derby. It has, however, grown over the years thanks to the duos dominance in the league and a passionate fanbase. Sadly, rioting and missiles are the norm, and the death of a young Emelec fan struck by a flare in 2007 taints Ecuadors biggest game.
14) Nacional v Penarol: Famous for Success, social divides21
14) Nacional v Penarol: Famous for Success, social divides – The Uruguayan Clasico is South Americas oldest derby and these Montevideo teams share 96 league titles between them. Originally the Central Uruguay Railway Cricket Club, Penarol was the team of the European immigrants, while Nacional formed in 1899 as a team for native Uruguayans. The rivalry burns as fiercely today, even if its profile remains low compared to, say, Argentine cousin Boca-River.
13) Lazio v Roma: Famous for flares and fascists21
13) Lazio v Roma: Famous for flares and fascists – Its slightly strange that Roma are associated with left-wing politics in the Derby della Capitale: they were founded when Mussolini merged three clubs in an attempt to create a counterpoint to the dominance of Juventus and the Milans. Lazio refused to join. Both sets of Ultras are a violent lot. Note 2004, and a riot that led to 13 arrests and 170 injured police.
12) Celtic v Rangers: Famous for Sectarianism, frequency (formerly)21
12) Celtic v Rangers: Famous for Sectarianism, frequency (formerly) – World famous, ferocious and historic, which until recently is a match that hadnt been played since Rangers demotion in 2012. Yet their meltdown isnt the only reason for an Old Firm being outside the top 10. This was a derby fairly recently graced by Brian Laudrup, Paul Gascoigne and Henrik Larsson. The competition for Celtic just isnt there right now.
11) AC Milan v Inter: Famous for See-sawing fortunes21
11) AC Milan v Inter: Famous for See-sawing fortunes – Size: tick. Passion: tick. Global appeal: tick. Inter held sway in the distant past, while the Rossoneri ruled the roost in the 80s and 90s. The games themselves are goose-bump inducing, with flares, flags and foul language. Zlatan Ibrahimovic summed it up: 80,000 [people]. You come out one time and the whole stadium is blue. You come out the other time, the whole stadium is red. That is what you play for I like it when the fans are whistling me. It triggers me. I dont know what it is but it triggers me. Recently, though, it has been let down by a lack of games of trophy-deciding importance.
10) Benfica v Sporting Lisbon: Famous for closeness21
10) Benfica v Sporting Lisbon: Famous for closeness – These Lisbon neighbours are too close for comfort, with just 3km separating the grounds. The problem for the Sportinguistas is that, a 2015 Cup triumph aside, their dominance is a distant memory, so the current rivalry boils down to Benfica rubbing their success in their rivals faces every time they visit the Estadio Jose Alvalade.
9) Fenerbahce v Galatasaray: Famous for Graemes flagpole21
9) Fenerbahce v Galatasaray: Famous for Graemes flagpole – In 2014, Galatasaray fans chose to recreate via a gigantic stadium flag the moment in 1996 when their then boss/psychopath Graeme Souness ran on to the Fenerbahce pitch and planted a Galatasaray flag in the middle. Somehow, that insult delighted one half of Istanbul even more than the preceding victory. A rivalry fuelled by petty hatred and chaos: we love it.
8) Everton v Liverpool: Famous for Fire and friendliness21
8) Everton v Liverpool: Famous for Fire and friendliness – Englands oldest top-flight derby, which are fiery games full of red cards and goals. Loud and at times mutually respectful fans (witness the Hillsborough solidarity). To some, it may not be the most important derby in the north-west, but there is still plenty of bite in the Merseyside fixture.
7) Flamengo v Fluminense: Famous for Squeezing everyone in21
7) Flamengo v Fluminense: Famous for Squeezing everyone in – The Rio derby holds the global attendance record: more than 194,000 crammed into the Maracana in 1963. Typically, it finished 0-0. Flamengo were originally a rowing club, but became a football team in 1911 after dissatisfied Fluminese players defected after a row (no pun intended) with the board. There are several rivalries in Rio, but Fla-Flu is guaranteed a full house.
6) Olympiakos v Panathinaikos: Famous for ultraviolence21
6) Olympiakos v Panathinaikos: Famous for ultraviolence – The derby of Athens eternal enemies can be lively. In 2012 it was abandoned after petrol bombs were set off in the stands. In 2014, Panathinaikos boss Giannis Anastasiou was floored by an object thrown from the crowd and thousands of police were deployed in the following match to try to prevent trouble, but Anastasiou still got himself sent off.
5) Arsenal v Tottenham: Famous for goalfests21
5) Arsenal v Tottenham: Famous for goalfests – The resurgence of Tottenham is the major factor behind reigniting an age-old rivalry that stretches back to when Arsenal moved from south to north London in 1913. Arsenal used to be able to celebrate St Totteringhams Day amid a lack of actual trophies the day when Spurs can no longer mathematically finish above them but even that appears to be dead.
4) Al Ahly v Zamalek: Famous for Violence on and off pitch21
4) Al Ahly v Zamalek: Famous for Violence on and off pitch – It is no mean feat to be known as the most fearsome derby in the league when you consider the Egyptian Premier League has had to cancel seasons in recent years because of political unrest and fan violence. This is a fixture that has had to be abandoned four times and is a game dividing Cairo down the middle between the red of Al Ahly and white of Zamalek, and even sees a foreign referee flown in because all the Egyptian officials are said to have a leaning towards one of the clubs.
3) Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid: Famous for Underdogs finally biting back21
3) Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid: Famous for Underdogs finally biting back – Hidden in the giant shadow of El Clasico, the Madrid derby was a joke. Except it wasnt funny, because everyone knew the punchline. Real won. Until recently. A cathartic victory in the 2013 Copa del Rey final (Atleticos first win over Real since 1999) gave Atletico a taste for it. They won on their next trip to the Bernabeu, then claimed La Liga but the big, blanco elephant in the room is that Atletico came up agonisingly short against Real in the Champions League final in 2014 and 2016. At least now its no longer a mismatch.
2) Manchester United v Manchester City: Famous for Noisy neighbours, Denis Law21
2) Manchester United v Manchester City: Famous for Noisy neighbours, Denis Law – A friendly camaraderie before the Second World War, then it turned ugly in the 1970s. It has been amped up since the blue half of Manchester won the Abu Dhabi lottery and notable moments from recent years include Citys 6-1 embarrassment of United at Old Trafford, Michael Owen scoring a stoppage time winner in a 4-3 classic, and Wayne Rooneys overhead kick in 2011. Its a much hyped game and rightly so.
1) Boca Juniors v River Plate: Famous for Atmosphere, intensity, resurgence21
After a season in the lower leagues, River Plate returned to win the top tier in 2014. Great news for River, terrible news for the Buenos Aires police force. Derby day in Buenos Aires makes the Old Firm game look like a primary school kick-about, explains Scottish journalist Gavin Hamilton. With 70 per cent of the country said to have an allegiance one way or the other, you can see why. In November 2018, ahead of the Copa Libertadores final between the two sides, the Boca Juniors team bus was attacked by River Plate fans on its way to the game for the second leg at River's Estadio Monumental. As a result of injuries to players, the game was postponed. The final was eventually played in Madrid, Spain.
