Well, you obviously have no clue about the Schalke-Dortmund rivalry then. I doubt many people in Germany care for some Spanish derby as much as for Schalke-Dortmund. ^^

BTW, the rivalry between Schalke and Dortmund is so pointed that there are even Schalke fans who would never ever utter the name "Dortmund" but prefer to call them Lüdenscheid-Nord (Lüdenscheid being a town close to Dortmund), while Dortmund fans refer to Schalke (which in fact is a part of the town of Gelsenkirchen) as Herne-West (Herne being a town close to Gelsenkirchen-Schalke). eco smile

Juve-Inter 'derby d'italia'

Real Madrid-Barca

Boca-River

Celtic-Rangers

Flamengo-Fluminese

Milan-Inter

Liverpool-United

They are the biggest Derbys in my mind

Here is ratings, but they evaluate not level of game only, but atmosphere, fans, hype, emotion levels, etc
