EL CLASICO DE AVELLANEDA

Independiente is known as "El Rey de Copas" ('The King of Cups'), because it has won 15 International Cups (including the Copa Libertadores 7 times), more than any other club in South America. Rácing Club is called "La Academia" ('The Academy') - presumably it was known for the good standard of its football. It has won the Copa Libertadores once.
