Madrid come into the game in far better form than their rivals. Zinedine Zidane's side were held to a draw by Atletico in their last home fixture, but they have won eight of their last 10 games in all competitions and drawn the other two. Barcelona, meanwhile, have endured their toughest period of the season. In fact, they have lost as many games in the last five weeks as Madrid have lost in the entire season. As always with Barca, a lot will depend on Lionel Messi. The Argentine has received criticism for some of his performances in big games recently. But he has not been helped by the team and their tactics. Against Juventus, Barcelona dropped too deep, didn't work with intensity without the ball and made costly defensive mistakes. Messi was actually their best player, and his stats for the season still make incredible reading. https://e1.365dm.com/17/04/16-9/20/skysports-messi-lionel-barcelona_3932757.jpg?20170417120351 Lionel Messi's remarkable goal-scoring numbers this season With two goals and an assist against Real Sociedad on Saturday, Messi has now scored 45 times in 44 games this season and registered 14 assists. If he can add to those numbers at the Bernabeu, Barcelona will certainly stand a chance. As we all know, however, it is not just about Ronaldo and Messi. These two sides have world-class talent all over the pitch, but when it comes to options from the bench, it's Real Madrid who have the edge. Take the two sides' recent Champions League clashes against Bayern Munich and Juventus. Real Madrid's options from the bench included Isco, Alvaro Morata, Marco Asensio and James Rodriguez - four players capable of conjuring a late moment of magic. |
In other words, Barcelona simply have not been competitive when it matters, a sign of a team that needs a new impetus. Real Madrid, on the other hand, have made a habit of rising to the big occasions - a trait which is typified by Cristiano Ronaldo. His total of 28 goals in 37 appearances is modest by his standards, but he is producing more one-touch finishes, he is shooting more frequently from inside the box, and he is also patient enough to wait for the ball to reach him in dangerous positions. https://e1.365dm.com/17/04/16-9/20/skysports-real-madrid-barcelona-form_3932751.jpg?20170417120143 Barcelona have wobbled in recent weeks As we have pointed out on Revista for over a year, he is becoming a great out-and-out striker. And he has proved that at key moments throughout the season. Most recently, he was the hero at the Allianz Arena when he scored both of Real Madrid's goals in their 2-1 win over Bayern Munich in the Champions League. And back in November, when Madrid travelled to the Vicente Calderon to face Atletico, he fired a memorable hat-trick to seal an important 3-0 win. Another big game, another big performance. Ronaldo was unable to make the difference in the last Clasico, when Real Madrid needed a last-minute equaliser from Sergio Ramos at the Camp Nou, but you wouldn't bet against him making an impact on Sunday. |
It's almost time for El Clasico and the stakes could hardly be higher. Real Madrid can take a huge step towards the title if they claim the three points, but Barcelona will be out to blow the race wide open. Luis Enrique's side are three points behind Real Madrid having played a game more than their rivals, but a victory at the Bernabeu would certainly make things interesting. In fact, it would send them top of the table with a superior head-to-head record, putting Real Madrid under real pressure to win their game in hand against Celta Vigo. https://e2.365dm.com/17/04/16-9/20/skysports-la-liga-table-top-four_3932754.jpg?20170417120240 Real Madrid have the advantage at the top of La Liga In order for that to happen, however, Barcelona will need to drastically improve their abysmal record in big away games this season. Barca were beaten 3-1 by Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium earlier in the campaign, and their heavy defeats at Paris St Germain and Juventus are also fresh in the memory. In La Liga, there was also the 2-0 defeat at Malaga after Madrid had dropped points last weekend. |
BeeBeeOoh, let's start ![]() Madrid for the 12th! ![]() |

ephi123:It is obviously voodoo. Science has a definition for stroke, as well as causes, but here in Africa, particularly Nigeria, we send it to people like parcel. Voodoo is responsible. |
ephi123:You guys shouldn't make me go back and forth on this nau ![]() Science claims it is a rare occurrence, and truly it is. However, it is not in Africa because we have found a way to blend it with voodoo. It is similar to Thunder Bolt, whereby an unfaithful wife unconsciously kills her secret lover after being laced with the charm. He somersaults seven times and dies afterwards, or crave for water none stop till he dies. While science might claim fatigue is responsible, we all know the cause. Voodoos are real. Penis captivus does occur but it is often a rare case naturally. It only happens when the vagina experiences spasm. That is not to say that its voodoo form is unreal. Strokes are rare among younger folks, according to science, but it is common among them in Africa. I hope you get my point now. |
realpoacher: symbianDON:Honestly, I don't know how to classify your comprehension abilities. The person I quoted mentioned 'atheists', to which I responded in clear scientific terms. And common sense failed to dictate to you both that while I mentioned that 'science claims it is a rare occurrence', 'it is a common thing in Africa, particularly in a situation whereby a man suspects his wife of infidelity'. Does that not point somewhere ![]() Perhaps you wanted me to spell everything out. |
Koleman:It has nothing to do with atheists. Often called Penis captivus, a rare occurrence which involves the vagina walls clamping down on the man's part. Don't be deceived, while science claims it is rare, it is a common thing in Africa, particularly in a situation whereby a man suspects his wife of infidelity. Your friend's wife or any other person's wife is unacceptable! |

CeeKay17:Ribery drew the line and he's been crying over the goals. Referees are only human and they are subject to making mistakes every now and then. Vidal should have been shown out long before the 83rd minute, the same as Casemiro. Worst still, Bayern's penalty was nothing but a dive and people couldn't complain much because Casemiro caused it. The red card must have been harsh but Vidal's tackle is an anyday yellow card offense. Bayern eased in this manner against Arsenal too after Arsenal was unjustly booked and reduced to 10 men. Barca scored an offside goal against PSG as well, so I don't see the fuss here. Ronaldo's first may have been controversial, the same cannot be said of the other two goals. In the end, the better team won. |
SSpeter:First quarter kwa? A new financial year just started, perhaps you were referring to the calendar quarter. It is normal that Sales go southward once in a while but the most important thing is to believe you would break even. Positivity matters a lot when it comes to sales. I would not want to delve into market survey and how competitive your brand is, but I believe there is always a reason for bad sales, just as there is for good sales. As a salesman, you have no control over pricing, so it would be wrong to ask you to look in that area. |

Alariwo2:Their consolation now would be the penalty kick. They know this for sure. |
Ujunwa02:Nothing is normal here again. Bayern is a man down and they would be very foolish to attack. They're not playing Arsenal or Werder Bremen here. |
Am I the only seeing Ronaldo reaching his century tonight? ![]() |
Punctual:Leicester City players that have changed into mufti already abi what boys are you referring to? ![]() |
We will win for sure. Bayern would be forced to defend rather than attack now. I must go for a medical check up tomorrow. Blood is surging all over ![]() |
