It is more passionate than Spanish
On the other hand, the 'Cabezón' reiterated that a Boca vs River has no comparison in terms of sentiment, but our classic ignites emotions: "Argentina's is the most passionate Classic, that one doesn't come close to anyone.
For me later having played the one in Spain, the fans are not in the Classic
.
Another thing that caught my attention was that when Chivas came to Azteca it was thick,
but when America went to Guadalajara it was more of the team's hobby
