Dark Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 December is goodbye month. 2019 says goodbye to start 2020 and the Champions League ends its group stage with the celebration of its sixth day. But they are also weeks of celebration. El Puente del Pilar, Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Year's Eve ... and this year: The Classic. Before La Liga closes for the holiday break, with the day that takes place from Friday 20 to Sunday 22, it is time for Barcelona and Real Madrid to see their faces for the first time in the 2019/2020 season. The eternal rivals had to face there for the month of October, but the altercations that occurred after hearing the sentence of the 'procès' caused the duel to be postponed. The Classic of this 18-D is once again in the spotlight for the independence platforms such as Tsunami Democràtic. This has called for the mobilization of those who agree with the 'indepe' cause to fence the Camp Nou four hours before the scheduled time for the meeting to begin. Mess is expected in the fief Blaugrana, although this will not be the first Classic in which the controversy is the main protagonist of the 'film'. If for some years now the independence movement has made a place in every duel between Barça and Madrid that is celebrated at the Camp Nou, once the bottles, lighters and even the head of a piglet flew. Rain of pads From Can Barça it has been argued over the last decade that it was the fault of José Mourinho when the Classics acquired higher levels of tension. But all this goes back much earlier, at the beginning of the 20th century. It was in 1916 when historians talk about the beginning of the rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona, although we will go until the 70s to see the first unfortunate event. It was in the same beginning of the decade, in the year 1970, when a rain of pads fell on the grass of the Camp Nou. Blaugrana fans decided to protest the braid's decision to point out a penalty in favor of Real Madrid, throwing these objects into the field and with the subsequent police invasion included. Laps of honor The laps of honor have also led to episodes in which sportsmanship and good loss was forgotten. In 1988, Bernd Schuster had to be escorted after winning the Super Cup at the Camp Nou - and all this came after leaving Barcelona for disagreements with Nunez - and being determined to make that traditional lap of honor. Another of these that was spotted happened in 1993, when the Culés threw plastic bottles and oranges in their wake. The stomping of Stoichkov Nerves, tension and also a lot of bad milk. One of the most controversial players who have dressed the elastic culé is Hristo Stoichkov. The Bulgarian has a prominent section here and it is he who was the player capable of stepping on a referee for a decision of the referee that he did not like. During the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup in 1990, Stoichkov pretended to receive a foul from Chendo, but Urízar Azpitarte did not fall into the trap. The one who did believe that there was punishable action and protested from the band was Johan Cruyff. According to the referee, the Dutchman snapped: "Always the same, whipping everything for the same side!" Although it was Hristo's reaction that nobody expected. "Suddenly, he got up from the grass, approached and stepped on the instep. I tried not to make any fuss, but it hurt a lot. I could have suspended the game at that moment," the Biscayan colleague revealed in his day. Both Cruyff and Stoichkov were expelled and the Bulgarian player was sanctioned with six months of suspension. "Judas" Long before Luis Figo was received at Camp Nou as the number one public enemy, it was Michael Laudrup who arrived wearing the meringue shirt that had been his home. The stands of the field of the Catalans were filled with banners in which you could read "Judas". But also others with the words "Traitor" or "Slag". From Roberto Carlos to Figo Although the attack suffered by Carlos Carlos in 1997 was more recent in the retina. It was then, during the celebration of the first leg of the Spanish Supercup, when the Brazilian side fell in a hurry on the grass, putting his hands to his head and With the body totally shrunk. The smiling soccer player left behind his eternal smile and kind gesture after suffering an aggression and is that an amateur, if you can call him that, threw a lighter that hit the head of the defense. 1
