América–Atlético Mineiro rivalry

The rivalry between América Futebol Clube and Clube Atlético Mineiro, named as "Clássico das Multidões" (English: Crowd's Derby) and also called "Galo versus Coelho" (Rooster vs Rabbit), is a football rivalry from Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The rivalry has a 110-year history, since first match happened in 1913, and it was considered the biggest derby of Minas Gerais for decades. Since América fell back, due to initially refusing to become a professional club, and Cruzeiro surpassed Coelho in popularity – and later, in titles – the derby lost its status as the most important one in the state. However, the rivalry between América and Atlético continued through the years, in decisive matches in the Campeonato Mineiro, in encounters for the Campeonato Brasileiro and even in the Copa Libertadores, in 2022.
