Once a major derby, since Olympiacos' dominance the derby has lost importance over the years, however the rivalry still exists as the poaching of players and the ownership of the stadium still remain a point of contention.
Although the importance of the derby has declined in football, the rivalry is still very much alive in other sports, especially water polo.
