El clasico is a race of the lame says ex real madrid chief valdano

It seems like there's been a controversy sparked!

According to reports, former Real Madrid chief Ramón Calderón (not Valdano, I assume that's a typo) has made some bold statements about El Clásico, the highly anticipated match between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. Calderón, who was the president of Real Madrid from 2006 to 2009, has been quoted as saying that El Clásico has become a "race of the lame" due to the intense media scrutiny and pressure surrounding the match.

Calderón's comments have sparked a heated debate among football fans and pundits, with some agreeing that the intense media attention can indeed put undue pressure on the players, while others argue that the rivalry is what makes El Clásico so special and exciting.

What do you think? Do you agree with Calderón's assessment, or do you think El Clásico is still an electrifying event that brings out the best in both teams?
