Reader questions
Is the Malaysian Clásico real?
It is our name for the MSL’s highest-stakes fixture: Johor Darul Ta’zim against Selangor. The name is unofficial, the stakes are not — it usually decides the title race.
Why are derbies counted by history, not the fixture list?
Because feuds move between divisions but do not disappear. We list rivalries that persist, not just teams that happen to meet this season.
