San Lorenzo vs. Huracán – Das ist argentinischer Fußballwahnsinn in Buenos Aires

The Clásico del Barrio mas grande del mundo in Buenos Aires – San Lorenzo de Almagro against Huracán. It is the oldest and biggest neighbourhood derby in the world and is also known as the Clásico Porteño – the capital's derby. We take you to Boedo, the home of San Lorenzo, where the myth of the old Gasómetro was born – and to Parque Patricios, the neighbourhood of Huracán, the ‘Globo’. This derby tells the story of two clubs that are only a few blocks apart, yet worlds apart. You will learn: the founding stories of San Lorenzo (the Cuervos) and Huracán (El Globo) why San Lorenzo is still fighting to return to Boedo how Huracán is deeply rooted in Parque Patricios and its fans are still called ‘Quemeros’ the record since 1915: why people talk about ‘Papa’ or ‘Uncle and Nephew’ how the atmosphere in the stadiums explodes: from the legendary Palacio Ducó to the Nuevo Gasómetro We were there live – in a heated battle, with chants, pyrotechnics and Fernet con Coca. The result may be disappointing in the end – but the passion, melancholy and locura of this derby make it unique. ⚽ This is pure Argentine football culture.
