Coming from a match in which they gave a hiding to the reigning Premier League Champions Manchester City, confidence will be sky high for the Catalan giants. However, with the recent history of this fixture evident, form is the last thing that matters when Barcelona goes head to head against Real Madrid for the domestic dominance.
A win in this fixture and they’re 4 points clear with just 10 games to go, a defeat and they will be lagging behind with 2 points. Thus, as far as the outcome of this match is concerned, it may not have severe implications but it may well pave the way for domestic glory for either of these two teams in LA Liga this season.
Talking about Greatness and while Lionel Messi seems a synonym of that, his recent performance against Manchester City was everything any Barcelona fan could ask for and a little bit more. With his calm and composed play, his well debated nutmegs without a trace of chutzpah and his ever increasing goal tally, Lionel Messi has the capability to decide this match on his own.
Messi, Suarez and Neymar have scored a combined 29 goals in League this year, 14 more than the European trio of Real Madrid.
While it was the front 3 of Real Madrid that produced some magnificent displays in the first 6 months of this season, the South American trio of Barcelona is now at the center stage. Having scored 29 goals in the opening 3 months of 2015 – 14 more than their Real Madrid counter parts, the front trio of Barcelona is in the form of their lives.
Barcelona have conceded the least number of goals in the LA Liga this season (16)
While every aspect of FC Barcelona is thoroughly debated, one aspect that has been a silent warrior for them is their defense. While they have scored the most goals in League till date, Barcelona have conceded the least amount of goals in LA Liga this season.
Thus, while their strikers earn all the praise which they are earning currently, the defensive side of FC Barcelona has been immaculate this season as well.
Here is how they are expected to lineup against Real Madrid in the EL-Classico: –
