Real Madrid – Barcelona LaLiga: 23rd April 2017

Before a new El Clasico, Real Madrid and Barcelona are separated by three points in the La Liga standings. The “Galacticians” gathered 75 points after 31 matches, while “extras” are three points behind and played an extra game. Victoria is the only option for the team to keep their chances in the title. A defeat or even a draw could end the fight.

Real Madrid entered the match with great confidence, after defeating Bayern Munich this week after overtime. The club has thus obtained the qualification in the semifinals of the competition and has the chance to get a memorable double, Champions League – La Liga. Cristiano Ronaldo scored three goals against the Bavarians and has the engines set for this confrontation.

Barcelona only managed a white draw with Juventus. This result led to the Champions League exit, after winning 3-0 in Italy. Thus, Barcelona has reached the third match without victory in the last four games of all competitions. It is certainly not the best situation for a team that is preparing for a decisive match on the field of the great rival.

Direct matches

The two teams ended the match. Suarez opened the score for Barcelona, ​​but Sergio Ramos proved once again decisive, egaland in the 90th minute. Barcelona won the most recent game played on Santiago Bernabeu. On November 21, 2015, the Catalans defeated 4-0, Luis Suarez managing a double.

Probable teams

Dani Carvajal returns to La Liga after a suspension, but Pepe and Varane are still injured for the hosts. Bale may be able to play after missing the Champions League.

Neymar is the great absence of Barcelona. The Brazilian is in the second stage of suspension at this stage. This will probably lead to a system change. Luis Enrique should use the three central defender, with Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto in the extreme, to contribute both to the defensive phase and the offensive phase. Arda Turan is uncertain and has little chance of being a holder. Paco Alcacer is a variant if the Catalan manager will still opt for a 3-attack variant.

Real Madrid:
Navas – Marcelo, Nacho, Ramos, Carvajal – Kroos, Casemiro, Modric – Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale

FC Barcelona:
Stegen, Umtiti, Mascherano, Pique – Alba, Iniesta, Busquets, Rakitic, Roberto – Messi – Suarez
