Real Madrid vs Barcelona: Preview and Team News:

After Carlo Ancelotti‘s confirmation of Thibaut Courtois‘ health, that doesn’t seem to be a problem for the Madridistas anymore. Barcelona on the other hand might get affected by the players picking up injuries, Araujo’s groin injury, and Andreas Christensen’s ligament damage, but the team’s well-stacked to worry about them.

The sort of form both the teams have presented in La Liga so far, is tremendous, and remember it’s the battle for the top spot, which the Blaugranas have a hold on, after quite a long.

Prediction:

This shall be a head-to-head game, but the ‘Los Blancos’ could take home the victory.

The score shall be, “2-1”

The El Clasico: History and Glory

After Xavi gets more focused on the fixture, the two teams meet twice during a season, with an additional two times in the Copa del Rey, Champions League, and the Supercopa de España, and possibly in the UEFA Super Cup as well.

Through the El Clasico, every year the citizens of Catalonia, proclaimed their independence from Spain. It is possibly the most-watched and talked-about fixture. The prestigious El Clasico started on May 13, 1902. Barcelona and Real Madrid have won a combined 54 Spanish League Championships and are arguably the two richest clubs in the sport.
