COMO SURGIU A RIVALIDADE MORTAL ENTRE CORINTHIANS & PALMEIRAS E A ORIGEM CHOCANTE DO "PORCO"!

To date, the Corinthians-Palmeiras Derby has been played 380 times, a number of matches that only reinforces the immense rivalry. Although there's a shift in who comes out on top in these clashes, Palmeiras currently holds a slight advantage in total victories: they have 135 wins to Timão's 130, with 115 draws to complete this long history of clashes. In other words, Corinthians is always right there, close behind, and each match is a chance to turn that tally around. Everyone knows the rivalry exists and is the greatest in Brazil, but the origins of this feud between the two teams began many years ago, around 1917, on May 6th, when the two teams first met. Since then, Corinthians and Palmeiras have faced each other head-to-head, and the "swine" has become the opponent Corinthians has faced most in its history. So, let's understand where this rivalry came from and how it arose, which is bigger than the competitions the teams are in when they face each other.
