Spain vs Italy in football. Italy always beating us up despite of playing very well. I still remember a World Cup game back in 1994 where they won unfairly.
But , since 2008, things changed. We beat them in quarterfinals in the Euro cup and finally won it in the final against Germany. Then we met again in 2012, this time at the final and we won them.
Last year, again in semifinal of European Nations League we won them, and then in the final, we become champions again against Croatia.

Yes, it is true. But still remembering that team, was just magic. Made the country to be proud. I had not ever seen so many Spanish flags in every balcony.

The 2010 team was very strong. Definitely the better team than Netherlands 🇳🇱

That team was special. Del Bosque was special. That golden generation lived upto their hype. Might.never see an int. team like that.

Haha I know , but we were talking about internationals. However, if you asked me about emotions, nothing like Betis vs Sevilla.

Yeah, I kow about the rivalry but not that much. Don't get to see La Liga a lot. But if we talk about local rivalries like inter-city or provincial then there are a lot of bitter rivals no doubt but when it comes to countries who have been to multiple wars, that's a whole new level.
