What makes a derby a derby, is a great love for your club and hatred for the greatest rival, are the two most important reasons why the derby is special. In order for a football derby to be big, it is necessary to have an equal reputation for two clubs, a similar number of fans, an uncertain race in all competitions and naturally different colors of the club.

Football is itself a pure emotion, but there is a period when what we feel about the twenty-two men chasing the ball, can not be measured or compared with anything.

The mentioned period can often vary with intensity and length, from several days to several weeks but it is still easy to determine that the epicenter of "madness" stays somewhere between 90 and 120 minutes, excluding a potential penal series.Then everything that really matters and essentially becomes absolutely irrelevant, and your thoughts and all the types of energy you give are focused on just one thing. That your beloved team records victory over the biggest, eternal rival.

What is morally, becomes immoral - then the way and means are not chosen in order to reach the goal. Then it is only important that your team, after the last referee whistle, raise your arms above your head, while you are thrown in the trance and rejoice with the people you have seen for the first time in your life. The game that has the power to divide cities into half, the eternal rivalries that turn the brothers and great friends into the hot rivals, but at the same time they provide us with unique experience and luck, as well as valuable, unforgettable memories.

We only have few of these kind of games in the world, so I bring you next two for this sixth edition of Greatest Football Derbies in the World series :

                                      Milan - Internazionale

Derby della Madonnina between Milan and Inter is much more specific, but the fact is that the eternal Milan rivalry would not have existed without the "traditional Italian debate" on March 9, 1908.

Milan was founded at the end of the XIX century, in 1899 by Alfred Edwards, at that time deputy of the British consul, under the name - Milan Cricket and Football Club. The newly formed team succeeded in interrupting the domination of Genoa.

Team from the San Siro district won three consecutive runs of the Serie A, so that great rivalry would emerge after the gallant quarrels of the leading men in 1908.

One fraction of the administration was dissatisfied with the ban on the signing of foreigners, so the city of Milan soon got another team - symbolically called the Internazionale. Initially, the Interist came from the bourgeois layer of San Siro, and they wanted to say that the stadium is so close that they coming with scooter, while Milanists, mostly members of the working class, were called "trams" - because they are mostly coming to town by city transport.

Though linked to eternal rivalry, the Milan and Inter events almost never bring everything that has become "normal" to the package of an eternal derby, especially when it comes to clubs from the same city. They also often met in revue matches, which became a kind of tradition, almost 200 players played for both clubs, and apart from a few minor physical conflicts and incidents, disputes were mostly solved by callouts, walkers and choreographies during the match.

One of the biggest and most viewed football matches in World are played on the San Siro stadium since 1926, where Inter moved from Arena Civica in 1947, and since 1980 has been named the official name of Giuseppe Meaca, after the double winner of the World Cup and former member both teams, but above all Inter's legend.

So he will remain San Siro forever for the Milanists, although his name will change every week and sometimes several times in seven days.

                                            Nacional - Penarol

When in 111 years of long league history two clubs won 94 championship championships, it is not difficult to conclude that the Uruguayan Classic is a clash between the National and Penarol.

The duo for which Montevideo stands for an hour and a half keeps a record when it comes to the mutual encounters of two football teams - as they have so far met an incredible 525 times. Penarol owns 49 championship titles, five Kopa Libertadores and three Intercontinental Cups, and Nacional 45, as well as two Libertadores less.

Like most of the South American giants, Penarol was founded by English migrants in 1891, called the Central Uruguay Railway Cricket Club (CURCC), in order for railroad workers to have a way of getting up. Eight years later, the response of the local population and the establishment of the National Congress followed.

525 matches later, Penalor has 184 victories, 167 matches ended without a winner, Nacional was better at 174 times.

Nacional had quickly gained great support, and the company continued to invest in, realizing that it had done something bigger than the team itself that workers were killing hours between laying the rails. The response after the founding of 'Sunflower' was even greater - because the Uruguayans looked at them as guardians of national identity.

The atmosphere at the stadiums 'Gran Parque Central', or 'Camepon del Siglo', does not differ too much from those in the demographic environment. Lots of pyrotechnics, drums, simultaneously jumping tens of thousands of people, and the goal is also the same - winning at every price.

Including other competitions, the total number of trophies of two clubs combined exceeds 200.
