I experienced biggest football rivalry you’ve never heard of – I was confronted by fans who threatened to rip me apart

DEATH threats, sexist abuse, 50,000 fans, and a desperate plea for equality in football. Last week I experienced the biggest footballing rivalry you have never heard of: Mohun Bagan Super Giants vs East Bengal – the Kolkata derby. Carlo Ancelotti claimed that India had ‘no football culture’ ahead of his Brazil side facing off against the Blue Tigers in Kolkata, so I travelled there to challenge his view on that.
