Battle for the city
The oldest rivalry is the one between Spartak and Dinamo. But Dinamo has struggled for years. They are slowly getting back up again. In the mean time both Spartak and CSKA developed a successful history which resulted in a fierce rivalry between the two. This rivalry even goes cross border. The derby days are something else, full of action the entire 90 minutes. For the last decades Lokomotiv Moscow has joined the top as well winning the cup in 2017 and the Championship in 2018.
