El Classico

[KIPPAXDAYS]

Watched game on Chilean stream yesterday and coudln't understand a bloody word apart from Manchester City / Manchester Yoounited El classico. Is that a spanish name for most derby matches or has our match reached a new level globally?

It'll be comparing it to the 'el grande clasico' between barca and madrid
very similar status now the clasicos are there derby games

Heard that too, though i thought i heard him say 'Classico de Manchester'.

Love Spanish commentary, they get a bit carried way but its better than listening to Lawrensen drone on.

Quite like a foreign commentary - it hides the inane drivel from the commentator but 'Manchester United' never gets translated. Crops up in every game they are and are not involved in.

In spanish el clasico is used for any derby matches between teams with a great rivalry, el super clasico is usually reserved for Boca Jrs. Vs River plate

Tevez said so in an interview sometime back
