A review by glecharles
Fear and Loathing in La Liga by Sid Lowe

funny informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

Part oral history, part deep dive into the storied history of sport's greatest rivalry: Barcelona vs. Real Madrid. Lowe does a great job establishing historical context during and after the Spanish Civil War, connecting the dots to the modern era — ending just before I got into soccer for the first time in 2014. It added important nuance to my persistent dislike of Madrid, and my vague appreciation for Barca.
