‘It’s Not Like Arsenal vs Tottenham’ – Eboue Describes What Playing In The Intercontinental Derby Is Really Like

Galatasaray

So how does the North London Derby compare the Intercontinental?

Well one player who knows is Emmanuel Eboue.

The former Arsenal player also happened to play for the Lions and has played in both so he knows better than most what to expect.

Eboue explained the differences between the two derbies, it appears the Galatasaray vs Fenerbahce clash is more intense.

But could that be as a result of the gentrification of the stands? would he have said the same 20-30 years ago?

If also raises the question whether it has all been for the best?

Regardless both derbies are two of the most intense in the world and I guess Eboue is a lucky man to have had the chance to play in both.

Galatasaray take on Fenerbahce at the Sukru Saracoglu stadium today.

The Lions are league leaders but have not beat Fenerbahce away since 1999.
