The episodes that marked the irrepressible rivalry between Sevilla and Atlético

[Dark]

"I feel good at Atlético, although I feel a nostalgia for Sevilla because, as the song says, it has a special color," Simeone said, paraphrasing Los del Río, starting his first season dressed in red and white. He was there, invisible and contained, sentimentally and proudly his were two clubs condemned to ignore, Simeone changed the Guadalquivir for the Manzanares in the summer of 1994. He was 24 years old and had a lot of football ahead, 450 million pesetas put Gil on the table At that time, the second most expensive signing in the history of Atleti, just behind Futre. "I am convinced that I changed clubs because of a question of needs", added the current coach of Atleti. That sound transfer did not alter too much the chicha calm between both teams.It was the need that aroused the irreconcilable character.In the 2000/2001 Atlético and Sevilla porfiaban in Second Division: The "season in hell", which ended up being two, for the people of Madrid.

Sevilla, trained by Joaquín Caparrós, the current top sporting official of the entity, did return to Primera without hardly staining the kit. And that, despite the little prophetic statements by the Sevilla coach. After losing to Atlético de Madrid in May, and already a leader in the category, he said: "We have to fight for two places to go up, I give it to Atlético, what do I base myself on? how the world moves this and do not make me talk anymore ... " Jesús Gil described these words as "outrageous" and the club made a statement defending himself against these "unfounded insinuations and rumors".

                        

In that season the estrangement accentuated and served as a shaky start for a decade marked by rivalry. A spontaneous classic of our football. A wounded fan A can of Mahou and a bottle of Ballantines flew over the head of Andrés Palop in April 2006. Sevilla had just overtaken on the scoreboard with a goal from Antonio Puerta. A bit legal, despite the unbridled reaction of the stands, which asked for offside. The goalkeeper showed the whiskey to Ayza Gámez, raising his arms, indignant with the behavior of the local fans. The referee stopped the game in minute 77 and the Vicente Calderón was emptying little by little.

Some players were already showering when they found out they had to put their boots back on. After being suspended 15 minutes, the referee decided to end the match and jumped to the grass to finish the job. In the stadium there were a handful of irreducible. Petrov and Perea were expelled in those remaining and strange minutes. He won Sevilla in one of the most disconcerting and dismally remembered matches between both clubs. What went through Ayza Gámez's head was in the limbo of reason: "In the field there must be tension, but it's something else outside," said the athletic defender Pablo Ibáñez in March 2008. His team has just won Sevilla . Before the match, an Atlético fan had been attacked in the vicinity of Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán. The scene was recorded by one of the members of the mob. The hobbies were burned down. Frente Atlético and Biris Norte defend irreconcilable political positions and have had no interest in hiding it. Their enmity marks the rhythm of hostilities. "Ea, ea, eah, Puerta is dizzy", have come to sing at the Vicente Calderón. "Frente Atlético, asesinos", ran in the stands of Nervión. Biris, close to Riazor Blues, remembered Jimmy, the radical sports fan assassinated in a brawl with football as an excuse. The signing of VitoloThe last disagreement between Atlético de Madrid and Sevilla was institutional. Summer 2017.

Vitolo receives a call at dawn and changes his plans. He had told his companions and his captain, Nico Pareja, that the following morning he would join the expedition after having declined the offer from Atlético. But something broke in the night and Vitolo blurred his word. The Canary accepted to wear the shirt of Las Palmas during half season, to avoid the sanction of his new team; and so, in yellow, the Sánchez-Pizjuán stepped on again. He was received with acrimony and whistles. Everything is forgiven, less according to what colors and according to what forms.
