Cities with more than one football club commonly breed the best rivalries, and here are three of the most notable examples.
England has the most popular league in terms of global influence and viewership, and a explanation for this is that it is just so competitive. The competitive nature of the league also runs true within individual cities, and Manchester is one of the famous cases of this. With two clubs that are amongst the best football clubs in the world, the city is one of the big football cities in the world. The competition has consistently been big between the teams, even so with the rise in standard of the blue side of the city, it has become considerably more intense. The Manchester city owner, who brought a tremendous amount of prosperity to the team, has made the team the finest in the country. Their squad is the envy of every soccer fan, and with arguably the greatest coach in the world, it is no surprise that they are ruling English football. This improvement has made the team one of the leading European football clubs.
Turkish football may not be the most well-known nor the most illustrious, but it is home to one of the most soccer passionate places in the world. The city is distinctive in that it has three massive teams, that are all of similar quality. These teams are among the best eastern European football clubs who consistently feature in the leading European cup competition. With three teams in the city, it means there are more derbies here than in many other cities. Each derby is greatly contested both on and off the pitch, and one of the teams even broke the world record for the loudest recorded sound in a arena. As the teams are so dominant in the Turkish division, the three clubs from the capital have won by far the most trophies, and the Fenerbahçe chairman is at the head of the most successful team in the nation.
Soccer rivalries get no more extreme than the one that takes happens in north Italy. The fashion capital of Italy is also the venue for one of the best waged rivalries in world football. The two clubs are always very near to each other in the league table, but the AC Milan owner will hope they overtake their city challenger shortly. Any history of football will incorporate these two clubs and how intently they have struggled for Italian dominance. The rivalry is highlighted by the fact that the two clubs use the same stadium, which is one of the popular grounds in world soccer. The arena is one of the great European grounds, which has been used for international tournaments and European cup finals. Italy is one of the few countries that has teams which share grounds, and it is for this reason that they have some extraordinary rivalries.
