Former Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera has described Boca Juniors as "the biggest fan movement in the world" and labeled the Superclasico against River Plate as "the best football atmosphere" he has experienced in his career.
The Spanish midfielder, who played for United from 2014 to 2019 before moving to Paris Saint-Germain and later Athletic Bilbao, made the remarks while reflecting on the intensity of Argentine football's most famous rivalry.
Herrera's comments highlight the global reputation of the Buenos Aires derby, which regularly draws capacity crowds at La Bombonera and the Monumental. The Superclasico is widely regarded as one of the most passionate and intense fixtures in world football.
