El classic,!!!!!!!
ElClasico is here! Real Madrid and Barcelona meet at the Santiago Bernabéu in the early kickoff on Saturday, and this should be a very fun one.
This has been a weird season for the two giants of European football: Barça are yet to lose a game since early August but have not been the most exciting team to watch, while Madrid have been wildly inconsistent, not performing well in most big games and often dropping points to teams that are currently fighting relegation in La Liga .
But as soon as the game starts at the Bernabéu , inconsistent seasons and unexciting performances go completely out the window and the only thing that matters is the 90 minutes. This game is full of superstars and the title race could be either almost decided with a Barça win or wide open with a Madrid victory.
This will be fun to watch, but also nerve-wracking. It’sthe biggest club match in world football, and it’s one you just can’tmiss.

TEAM NEWS
The injuries are going away, which is great news, but Paco Alcácer, Samuel Umtiti and Ousmane Dembélé are still not available for this one through physical problems. They should all be back around January, but they’ll miss the Clasico which is bad news since Umtiti and Alcácer have played amazing and Dembélé is the X- factor.
There’s nothing we can do about the injuries, so let’s celebrate the fact we have three really good midfielders for once: Sergio Busquets , Andrés Iniesta and Paulinho (!!!!!!!!!!) are in great form at the moment, and Ivan Rakitic had a very encouraging performance against DeportivoLa Coruña . Winning the midfield battle is a major factor in El Clasico matches, and Barça’s midfield is looking quite good for the first time in quite a while.
The defense has been strong all season, and although Nélson Semedo is not getting as many minutes as he should, Sergi Roberto has played well lately. Thomas Vermaelen has been a revelation and really deserves to start alongside Gerard Piqué, although Ernesto Valverde could go with the experience of Javier Mascherano. It would be unfair to Vermaelen, though, so let’s hope he gets to start. Who would have thought we’d be saying THAT in December 2017!
Up front, it’s Luis Suárez and Lionel Messi. They’re literally the only forwards available at the moment and Suárez has been playing better in recent games, so it makes sense for the Uruguayan to start alongside the greatest of all time. Messi LOVES to destroy Madrid at the Bernabéu , and he needs to do it again for us to get a win on Saturday.

Barca is very thin, nobody on the bench.

Zidane should stick to one formation. This his constant tinkering is why Madrid are where they are now

TEAM FCB

damn ronaldo jut missed a good opportunity

Messi will teach c Ronaldo that talent is better than hype.

VIPERVENOM:

You can’t expect him to field under-performing players
They need like 5 new signings to create competition in the squad.Most of Madrid players are very lazy at the moment
