Which team, and why it matters
Asking someone which team they support is a real social question in Spain, not small talk, and the answer often carries a region and a politics with it. Real Madrid and Barcelona are the giants, and el clásico between them stops the country — but both are also unusual as institutions: they are owned by their socios, tens of thousands of dues-paying members who elect the president, rather than by an investor. Local loyalty runs deep and is generally inherited. Saying you do not follow football is perfectly acceptable, and you will be asked again anyway.
