Top10 - Number 1: Boca Juniors vs River Plate - Superclasico

In this immense battle between Argentina's, and more specifically Buenos Aires', two largest clubs, the passion of the South Americans is what sets this apart from most other rivalries in football. It is often seen as a matter of life and death by both sets of supporters, and the fans put on a show like no others. When the clubs face up to each other, there is a flooding of streaming banners, fireworks, bouncing Argentines, flags and singing, creating the ultimate atmosphere.

Boca, who are seen as the city's working class club as opposed to River Plate, nicknamed the Millionaires, have been the more successful when it comes to wins against each other.

There is not a meeting that passes without major controversy, and the importance of every  single one is magnified by the tens of thousands who attend the games.

Have a watch of this video and tell me that football isn't a magic sport.
