Colombian "superclásico"?
[edit]@ProEra30047: Regarding your latest edits claiming that Atlético Nacional vs. Millonarios is considered the "superclásico" of Colombian football, I would like to point out that although there is a wide consensus in Colombian football on Nacional, Millonarios, and América de Cali standing out of the group of traditional/historic clubs as a "Big Three", there is no defined consensus on a specific matchup between any of these teams being a "superclásico" like in Argentina (Boca vs. River), Uruguay (Peñarol vs. Nacional), Paraguay (Olimpia vs. Cerro Porteño) or Chile (Colo-Colo vs. U. de Chile).
Whilst you added some sources claiming Nacional vs. Millonarios being akin to these aforementioned matches, some of which even contradict themselves (CONMEBOL, for instance) as I will show with the examples I'm going to post, there are several other reliable media sources citing Atlético Nacional vs. América de Cali as the "superclásico":
- El Tiempo: NACIONAL-AMÉRICA, EL SUPERCLÁSICO...naming it as such as early as 1997.
- Semana, citing CONMEBOL (2021): Según Conmebol, Atlético Nacional vs. América de Cali es el clásico de Colombia: ¿dónde queda Millonarios?
- Publimetro (2021): Fuego cruzado de declaraciones en la previa al superclásico Nacional-América
- Atlético Nacional itself (primary source) considered América as their superclásico rivals instead of Millonarios (2018): NACIONAL VENCE A AMÉRICA Y SE QUEDA CON EL SUPERCLÁSICO
Therefore, naming this specific rivalry as the "superclásico" should be avoided, for neutrality and balance's sake. Naming it as a "superclásico" would be okay as it would not disregard the claims made in favor of another matchup and acknowledge (albeit tacitly) the lack of marked consensus.
