Politics and sports

The famous 'El Clasico' showdown between Spanish football's bitter rivals Barcelona and Real Madrid ended 0-0 late on Dec. 18.

The match was scheduled for Oct. 26 but had to be postponed after a wave of Catalan independence demonstrations in Barcelona.

Football is one amongst the most popular sports around the globe with a total of around 3.5 billion fans. The question about which is the biggest football team has been asked many, many times before. This has caused arguments from pubs to radio shows and family dinner tables. Up until now, no one has quite been able to find a suitable unit of measurement.
