Question for May 20

The Game: El Superclásico (X vs Y).

The Setting: Home of X (top visual) and Y (bottom visual) on derby day.

The History: The two clubs have origins in the working class dockland area of city Z. Y moved to the affluent district in the north of the city and hence is known by the nickname Los Millonarios. On the other hand X has been known as the working class people's club, with its fans known as Xeneizes.

What They Say: English newspaper The Observer put El Superclásico at the top of their list of "50 sporting things you must do before you die", saying that "Derby day in Z makes the Old Firm game look like a primary school kick-about."

Identify X,Y,Z.
