To pull all this back to the dreaded Dialectic, how many of these dyads result in a synthesis? Certainly it's there with the writing partnerships like D&G but with a sporting rivalry there can be none.
Are there football teams who combine the physicality of Madrid with the passing/finesse of Barcelona? (I'm making those up to an extent but you get my meaning)

Bayern were like that for a while, and Liverpool and City try to combine the best of both.

There was a period where Bayern - Dortmund was a brilliant rivalry too, but it didn't have the layers of Madrid - Barca. They were just the two best teams in Germany at that time and played really exciting football, particularly Dortmund. This was around 2012/2013 and when Klopp was still there.
