Lowe holds a doctorate in Spanish history and uses it to take apart the myths both clubs tell about themselves under Franco, then follows the rivalry through Di Stéfano, Cruyff, Figo and Messi. Much of the received story turns out to be wrong.
Why we picked it
The most famous rivalry in the sport, explained by someone who checked the archives instead of repeating the legend.
