More about the book
Morbo is the unique element that gives Spanish football its special flavour. More than mere rivalry, it is the expression of a thousand provocative ways of the feeling between clubs divided by history, language and politics. While outsiders may think only of the antagonism between Barcelona and Real Madrid, the same spirit courses through the uncompromising politics of the Basque Country, hangs over the divided football city of Seville and marks Spain's attitudes towards its national team. This is the history of the Spanish game and its true governing body - morbo.
