Football fans have witnessed several rivalries on the field. Some of the prominent rivalries are City vs. United, Inter vs. Milan, and Liverpool vs. Arsenal. But when we talk about the biggest rivalry, El Clasico pops into our minds.
Every FC Barcelona vs. Real Madrid game has produced the best level of football. Both clubs have always given their best when they met, and there is not much difference between them.
It is a different environment when both teams meet, and the former Real Madrid manager recalls the El Clasico era.
Jose Mourinho on El Clasico said:
“The world stooped for every Barca-Real game. That era was beautiful!”

Here is the complete statement:
“At our time, we had the best Cristiano Ronaldo, the best Lionel Messi, etc. Barca were the best team in the world, and Real Madrid tried to change that.”
“In one season, we had six El Clasicos. The world stooped for every Barca-Real game. That era was beautiful!”
The El Clasico era, when Ronaldo and Messi parted ways, was a completely different environment. Fans were excited to see which player and team had the better hand. Every time they met, it was a box office without an empty stand.
If we compare the current Barca-Real Madrid match day to the Messi-Ronaldo time, things were 1000 times more entertaining.
The environment, hype even before the match day, and comparison between players—it was a different era. Will the football universe get back to the Barca-Real game environment? Let us know your views in the comment section.
