Its an ethnic and political rivalry not sporting. Having them be closer would be nice but their not a small Club and their fans are way more hardcore than Barca.
Another brilliant edition. You mentioned about the history of the Copa del Rey - maybe a new series of the history of some cups/tournaments starting with the FA cup?
If I was a wealthy owner, I’d buy Espanyol, Implement an identity in the club. Build them into a competitive team to really go against Barça in the derby and Madrid, qualify to Europe every season. Make it an organized team. And keep the club steadily runned. Good budget, more focus on the youth, buy the right players, fight in between 1-6th places to be in Europe
I'd do the same - falling off from Europa league places to bottom in the span of a season shouldn't be happening. Sadly, even with the issues of the Poch days as managerr (driving out Raul Tamudo being one), we've been on a downturn since then.
2:19 That simply isn't the flag of Catalonia. In fact it is one of the two flags (yes they have two, for reasons I won't get into right now) that are often used by Catalan separatists during political demonstrations, representing between 1/3 to 1/2 of Catalan society. This is not an official or institutional flag by any standards.

Certainly, to find Barça followers who aren't pushing for Catalonia independence is not imposible, in fact it's actually quite common. You can see surveys here and there. Almost 40% of Catalan Barça fans are not pro-indepence. And I tell you that fifteen/twenty years ago that percentage was definetively higher. That if we take into account only the local fans. Remember the club has followers all over Spain. It's actually much more common to find unionist "culers" than pro-indepence "pericos" (Espanyol fans).

Patrick Hunt not really a derby, they don’t have any rivalry other than being the top two, that status only really grew in the last couple of decades (particularly in the Klopp era). Dortmund’s rival is schalke
So is espanyol more of like a historically loyalist club while Barcelona is more of a Catalan freedom independence club? If that's the case,this derby makes so much more sense.Makes me wonder why espanyol is loyalist?
Historically Barça has always been closer to Catalan nationalism in general terms (it has had more pro-nationalist directives and usually a bigger number of pro-indepence supporters). But both teams have a diverse fanbase, specially Barça which is very popular in the rest of Spain. It's not weird to find an independentist Espanyol supporter, although it's more common to find a Barça one. And it's even easier to find a Barça supporter who feels Spanish at least ti a certain extent, in fact before the 2010s Catalan independence didn't have much support. Just see all those Barça players who have played for the Spanish Selection.
Espanyol was literally set up for Spanish only players. Like Bilbao was Basque only. AC Milan was also Italian only that's why Internazionale Milan was formed. Bilbao is unusual still having kept this policy.
Just found out that rangers and espanyol have an affiliation with each other, so will buy my espanyol top at the start of the new season,❤ Glasgow rangers 💙espanyol ❤🍻

The lying capacity of separatism is infinite. Among his legends is that F.C. Barcelona was a focus of separatist opposition during the Franco regime. The truth with indisputable facts? 1.- In 1965 Franco saves F.C. Barcelona from ruin by signing the requalification of the Les Corts land, which allowed them to face the debts generated by the construction of the Nou Camp. 2.- The F.C. Barcelona, except for error, is the only Spanish football club that awarded Franco two gold medals: 1971 and 1974. 3.- Reason for Franco's first gold medal? The concession of 43 million pesetas of the time for the construction of the Palau Blaugrana and the Ice Palace.
@revvd, I hate them so much because of the servile attitude they have for Real Madrid. They play vs Barca like freaking rabid dogs but them turn into snowflakes when playing RM.
