Sitting on the fence of "spittoon" hundreds of fans watching Barcelona in the field of play time was 1909 and the Camp Nou was far from existing. Their bottoms hanging on the street soon began to be a picture of the city that marked the Catalan table games. The image of men with "ass" out and resulted in one of the best known nicknames on the planet: "Catalans." The first term was offensive is now a clear shield for those who profess devotion to Barcelona.
It is a situation of laughter, but real, that they called that by the word culture in Catalan and in Spanish it means ass. Although the nickname was not there, it evolved to 'FC Barcelona' which in our language would be equivalent to asshole. At first I had a sense offensive, but that name was eventually accepted by Barcelona itself, remained in the memory and passed to refer not only to fans but also players from the club.
There is another version that suggests the origin of the nickname, the Camp of the industry was built on a field of cabbages. The official archive of FC Barcelona says it is "a rather forced interpretation and certainly wrong." On the other hand, Real Madrid are known as the "Merengue" by the white color of his uniform, like the dessert that bears the same name, and characterized it since its founding in 1902.
Madrid has another alias that is less known and emerging from one of the most spectacular templates had the club. The squad led by Alfredo Di Stefano, Héctor Rial, Ferenc Puskas and Francisco Gento, earned the nickname "Vikings" when he lifted his fifth European Cup in a row (now Champions League) in the final against Eintracht Frankfurt in 1960, and the Times of London wrote: "Real Madrid walks around Europe and were walking past the Vikings, destroying everything in its path." The history and legacy of soccer in the Real Madrid and Barcelona are reflected in the nicknames that the public, media and time imposed on them.
In the meantime, "Merengue" and "Culés" put their cards on the table seeking to impose its law and extend their rivalry a year.
