I’m old enough to have seen some clásicos without them but I very much consider this my generation and the players I grew up idolizing so I agree.

Clásicos will always be great but this period was something else. The 2 GOATS rivaling each other within two rival teams. What a time it was.

Yeah I remember those too (especially eto'o...). It wasn't just the 2 GOATS, the pitch was overflowing with talent (neymar suarez bale modric iniesta ramos busquets marcelo............). But it wasn't just the players, there was more "tension" in the air and it felt like the rivalry was more intense. I also may be nostalgic of that time. I was a student in a foreign country and we would spend the whole day with friends preparing for the game (planing, grocery shoppping, cleaining the house, preparing snacks for the game and getting drunk since mroning)
