TAKE A TAXI IN BARCELONA AND the driver is as likely to support Real Madrid as Barca. These are no glory hunters attracted by the brilliant white of Raul, Zidane, Ronaldo et al, but internal migrants from <=这一段要解释一下。西班牙 Castilian Spain who moved to Catalunya in the 1960s 正中央那一块是古早的卡斯 to find work. And in Castilian Spain - that is most 提亚王国(Castilla)。而现 of central Spain and excluding the regions - Real 今在西班牙正中间除了马德 Madrid are the most popular team.

While Barca and Madrid fans clain with some justi- fication that is would be unsafe for them to go as away fans to either ground in any serious numbers, their arguments mask an embarrassing truth:their away support is dire. Different reasons are given. There's the theory that in buying a ticket for and away gound you are financially enriching a rival club. Then there's the distance argument. Barcelona to La Coruna, for instance, is 16 hours by road. Yet Newcastle took 7000 to the San Siro last season, Barca took 700 a month later. The simple fact is that, in Spain, there isn't a tradition of travelling to away games, unlike in England or Italy for example. Still, in the '90s, Barca's Boixos Nois obtained 翻:不过在九零年代有一次 tickets and organised coaches for the bernabeu.

"Once we get to Barcelona it's just 。 mad, with thousands of fans at airport and up all night outside our hotel," Steve McManaman remembers of the annual journey to the Nou Camp. "We have so much security but the bus windows get smashed in every time on the way to the ground. Everyone gets out of the window seats. We pull the curtains closed and edge into the middle with some in the aisle but there is not room for all of us there. People stand up and you just know what's going to happen. I've never been hit and thankfully the windows are re- inforced. They've got two layers so if the outside smashes it doesn't come through." Even though they are friends off the field, 翻:即使在场外是朋友，Macca Mcmanaman chosses not to sit with Figo for that one. 还是选择这次不要坐在figo旁 Figo first returned in October 2000 to a welter of Figo在2000年十月首次回来， abuse.

"It was impossible to 手机等等。Macca说"根本不 concentrate," sighs McManaman. Barca won 2-0. 可能专心。"後来巴萨2-0胜。 Figo wasn't the complete traitor that the Catalan Media protrayed. Barca officials were sending him mixed signals about a new contract, and he called their bluff. He claims that the media and certain Barcelona officials conspired against him and that he still has happy memories from his time in Catalunya. Figo returned to the Nou Camp for a second time in Nov. 2002. Most expcted intensity to have eased. It hadn't. APRIL 19 2003, THE BERNABEU stadium, Madrid:it sounds like a bomb has just gone off. Given that the Basque seperatist group ETA had marked the previous game between Real Madrid and Barcelona with two car bombs close to the bernabeu, everyone is worried. As laughter permeates the smoky haze and silhouette become faces, it's clear the explosion is nothing more than a firecracker - someone's idea of a laugh. In a street of nondescript mid-rise apartments behind the stadium's south end, the road has been blocked off by the police and the area is now the domain of Real's right-wing Ultra Sur. Lads in Londsdale and Harrington Jackeds, snide tight jearns and Doc Marten's boots stand around drinking and singing, "Luis Enrique - hijo de puta" (son of a bitch).
