I live near Sevilla and would say they are very 50% 50% even the towns around, (maybe Betis sliiightly more, although most people I know are Sevilla) its a very passionate rivalry but very banterish funny one cause of how much Sevilla people like to joke around. Was in a taxi the other day there and asked which team he supported, he stopped the car, looked at me serious and said "Sevilla, whats that, there is only one club in this city" 20 seconds later we bursted out laugh. Idk how many times I've heard the opposite hehe they will always downplay or poke fun of eachother fans. Up until a the Sevilla Europa dominance, would say they are historically quite even, although Sevilla have spent like 10 seasons more in the top flight Derby Day Sevilla by Copa90 did fantastic job showing the rivalry Best Derby atmosphere in Spain no matter the league position ❤
Love these videos. I get to expand my knowledge on the beautiful game whilst also learning about teams that I don’t really follow. Shoutout to Adrian too. You can always tell how much the guy loves the sport just by the amount of research and detail he puts into every video. Can’t wait to watch more :)
Love these series! Btw, the letter H in Spanish is silent, so "Huelva" is pronounced as "Uelva". Also, in "Gijón" the g is pronounced exactly the same as the j. Cheers!
Even though El Gran Derbi was considered the biggest football rivalries in Spain, there was only one occasion where both sides had a rare moment. The 2000/01 season was the first time an iconic rivalry has become not important because both sides were in second-tier of the Spanish football as a result of their relegations from the previous season of La Liga, the season that saw Deportivo La Coruna winning their first national title, Alaves having a good performance from being narrowly relegated to Segunda Division in 1999 to play in the next season of UEFA Cup, where they only lost to Liverpool by a golden goal in the final, and the first all-Spanish Champions League Final between Real Madrid and Valencia. In addition, Atletico Madrid also got relegated only 4 years after winning the historic Double. Betis and Sevilla, indeed, won the promotion immediately after this debacle.
@@Ioannis_Moraitis They also won another Copa del Rey in 2002, 7 years after the previous one, where they spoiled Real Madrid's centenary celebrations at the same time held in Santiago Bernabeu. Deportivo's biggest result was 2003/04 Champions League campaign. They eliminated two Italian giants and previous finalists Juventus and Milan en route to the semifinal, and only lost controversially to Jose Mourinho's Porto.
@@ezraezra2928 Yes el Centenariazo. And they also won the Super both in 2000 and 2002. The same year they eliminated Milan, they lost 8-3 in a group match against finalist Monaco.
Great video Adrian. Love it that you make so many videos about LaLiga. These two rivals share a lot of similarities but imagine sharing your stadium with your rival? In Switzerland, both the Zürich clubs have to use the same stadium because one of the two can‘t get the approval to build one for itself. Maybe this could be an interesting video?
Hey Adrian, I've been a fan of your content for years! I am beyond thrilled to see you covering my city's fierce rivalry. Thorough and well-researched. Great job!
Love this series and this is another great episode. I'm playing Football Manager with Sevilla at the moment, so it was fun to hear about the rivalry. Also I'm going to another big derby between a green and white and a red team at the weekend, Sporting v Benfica and really looking forward to that. Thanks again for the great content all across your channel.
10:30 while you've done a great deal of research, I need to point out that when sevilla moved to Nervión in 1928, that area was as underdeveloped as Heliopolis. Along crops and two tile manufacturers, you'd found newly built houses for the 1929's expo workers and the ground for model garden city of Nervión a couple blocks away. "La palmera", the big avenue that connects heliopolis to the old Town, is filled of monumental chateaux, though.
I’m going in august and every city l go to l buy the shirt of their football team before l go. I went to porto last summer and l could’ve bought a porto fc or boavista shirt, I went for porto but for sevilla I don’t know which shirt to get. The red and white or the green and white?
@@ethernet_-tu8dr Choose while you're there. I have a Sevilla scarf & shirt, but only because it was the first team i saw play in Sevilla. Both great clubs with great support.
Al Hilal vs. Al Nassr: the Riyadh Derby! Some of the most fearsome and hateful derbies in the Asian continent. Given the recent transfer news around the Saudi League, thought it’d be interesting to dive into.
Hi Adrian, im a spanish football fan from Asturias, where both Real Oviedo and Sporting Gijon play, and they also have one of the biggest rivalities in Spain. I strongly recommend you to check it out, we are a small community but with strong football influence. Players like David Villa, Santi Cazorla or Juan Mata are from Asturias. Greetings =)
Love the Rivalry series! The booing your beloved club for not losing easier to help your rivals go down is up there with Boca supporters getting tattoos of the date River Plate went down.
Sevilla was created in 1905, thats why they celebrated their anniversary in 2005. A few years ago they said the club was created in 1890 because a match was played against Recreativo, but it wasn't a real club yet, just a few guys that got together to play the game and no other record of said club exists until the real date where the club was created. Another of the reasons why Eladio left Sevilla was because they wanted the club to play in a richer neighbourhood, and yes, because they didn't want to sign a lower class player
@@Chinmay_Wagh from what i see maybe 1-1 then it would probably go to penalties and i would have my confidence in bono saving them and sevilla winning 7th
@@iamdannyl I mean it will be a tough Match Jose Mourinho has never lost a European final and Sevilla has never lost a Europa league final could go both ways honestly.
Sevilla FC was not founded in 1890. It was founded a club named "Sevilla", not related at all with the later club Sevilla FC. While they share the same name, they are not related. And as you clame Real Betis was founded in 1909 (signed its, founded in 1907), it should be the same for Sevilla FC, created in 1905 and signed later in 1907.
Typical Messi fanboy whose football knowledge revolves around only one player Real-barca isn't a sporting rivalry It's political and as well as socio-economic
@@shubhamchakrabarty8123 it is the truth, the derby existed but it was like Juventus vs Torino, Barcelona was much less than real madrid since Messi they became equals
@@rng8119 I hope u aren't a Barca fan cz if u are that's embarassing Barca was inferior to real but they actually started challenging cryuiff arrived from ajax He wasn't just a player but an activist who fought against the cops And then as a manager Messi have Barca sporting success But cryuiff gave them identity as a club
Bruh, this must be the most dogshit take I have ever read lmao Real Madrid vs Barcelona has been the biggest rivalry in Spain since pretty much forever. After the Spanish League formed, Madrid and Barcelona became the two strongest and most succesful Spanish teams relatively quickly, so they've had a competitive rivalry since pretty much the beginning of Spanish football. And it only grew more and more from the 1950s on. Add to that the fact that they're the flaghsip team from the 2 biggest, richest and most politically and historically relevant regions in Spain respectively. Not even getting into the deeply rooted social, political and cultural aspects of the rivalry and the historical relations between Catalans and Castilians because that might be just to much for you. Barça fans threw a fucking pig head and all kinds of shit at Luis Figo at an El Clasico to the point where they had to call off the game in the year 2000 after he signed for Real Madrid ffs. That's how big the rivalry was 10 years before Messi's prime. Yes, during Messi and Ronaldo's prime El Clasico gained a lot of global attention, but that's just because of the insane quality of players both teams had at the time and the natural hype of seeing the two greatest players in modern history (or history, period) play against each other. But that doesn't mean the rivalry didn't exist before.
Real Betis is a club I've fallen in love with in Spain since I live in Spain now. Especially love their Christmas stuffed toys tradition - makes the club feel like a community for the betterment of their people. FOREVER BETIS 💚🤍
Thanks for watching! Here's more Roots of the Rivalry: th-cam.com/play/PL2S46aY0hrLjAP0O8EpTRVP95up7jh4PQ.html
Benfica and Sporting next sunday. Is the derby of Portugal coming next on the channel?
Thanks for returning to Roots of a Rivalry! It’s what made me subscribe 😁
There's no better way to start the weekend than with a roots of the rivalry🤙
Cheering for your team to lose so your rivals getting relegated is insane hatred😭

Interesting detail, Oviedo and Gijon are also have a great rivalry
Yes! This one, in Asturias. Gijon disses Oviedo because it does not have a beach.
Always great having a root of the rivalry video. Would love to see you do one about the Basque Derby
Second "Roots of the rivalry" where I urge Adrian to do the "Derby of the Eternals" Panathinaikos vs Olympiakos from 🇬🇷
Maybe do a roots of the rivalry for Classico Joven,Classico Jalisco Or even Clásico Regiomontano from Mexico
The moustache game long ago was fire

I'd been waiting for this series so long. Finally 🎉
Love this rivalry. It helps me to learn more about laliga in general too since other clubs have derbies and rivalries too other than the big two
we want more videos like this!!! Great work
The frying pan of Spain by Colin Miller is a great book about the rivalry
Damn, I didn't even know it was that crazy between those two. Great Vid
Arguably one of the best ongoing video series on TH-cam 🙌🏻❤️
Love your videos on lesser known rivalries like this.
Keep up the good work!!!!!

no its not lol

Just found the channel, greaaat and detailed videos. Earned a sub!

Vienna derby next please

Just some suggestions:
Cambuur vs. Heerenveen
Netherlands vs. Germany
Panathinaikos vs. Olympiacos
It is definitely the second best derby in the country in my opinion. Sevilla is better usually but the gap is close enough to keep it interesting.
Second? Tekiyá...
Still not a video on the lisbon derby
🔥
I know it is not a classic derby but can you do a vid on the rivalry of Atleti-Barca?
"Fun" fact:
The first stabing issue we got between this two clubs was in 1908
finally my sevilla is getting some recognition especially since we beat juve in europa yesterday🤭

Another funny addition to this is the fact that Sporting and Oviedo themselves are also fierce rivals in Asturias. 😮 Weird history..
Please do Timbers v sounders/cascadia cup
I love this rivalry it is the best one in La Liga no offense to El Clasico LOL
Bro make a video on Hugo Alvarado

is the Deportivo vs Celta (Galicia Derby) actually a smaller rivalry? (not even mentioned the Basque derby Athletic Club vs San Sebastián)
