Why do you Europeans and Americans always want everything to be about you? you always think you're the best even when you're not. Boca Juniors and river plate has been one of the oldest and most intense rivalry of the football history, yet you're here asking a question that might have even been answered or possibly the answer someone might give you might even be better than the brace of Messi and Ronaldo in El clasico. Go and rest bro. if you've watched some other continents rivalry, you'll know that some of these Europeans rivalry are still learning.
