LaLiga Santander already has a winner, but that does not prevent all the lights are placed on it next Sunday, and is that the celebration of the Classic is one of those events marked in red on the calendar. The celebrations for the double of Barcelona have practically coincided with the classification of Real Madrid for its third consecutive Champions League Football final, the fourth in five years, so that both teams face this meeting in a state of euphoria that could lead to a great Game show and goals.
In addition,
the fact that the Spanish domestic championship is decided does not prevent
both teams having goals in the remaining four days. On the one hand, Barcelona will try to stay undefeated
to continue dreaming of finishing the season without any defeat in their
locker, while Real Madrid, with one
game less, hopes to close LaLiga Football
ahead of Atletico de Madrid after having passed Much of the campaign
interspersed with the third and fourth place.
The truth is
that the Classic has begun to play in the press rooms, as the Catalans claim
the hall for having achieved their 25th league title, while Real Madrid, with Zinedine Zidane as
spokesman, has already expressed his refusal to to grant that wish to his
rival, a decision possibly motivated by the fact that Barcelona itself refused to entertain the Club World Cup champions
last December.
In this way,
and despite the fact that the goals of both teams in LaLiga Football are purely statistical, the
match will be very hot from minute 1, and it will be Barcelona who carries the weight of knowing they are favorite. As
we have mentioned, the Blaugrana squad do not yet know what it is to lose in
the domestic championship, and to achieve victory against their eternal rival
both in the first leg and in the return would be the icing on the cake. Barca has not given up points in its
stadium since last February, when it could not go 0-0 against Getafe, and in the
other matches played at the Camp Nou since then he has only conceded two goals,
while he has been able to score 14 goals.
If we take a
look at the latest clashes between Barcelona and Real Madrid, we will remember
images that are already part of the history of the Classics. During the last
campaign, Messi was the protagonist of that 2-3 at the Bernabéu where he showed
his jersey to the merengue parish, while the Supercopa de España went to the showcases
of Real Madrid after the exhibitions of Marco Asensio in the two parties and
that goal by Cristiano Ronaldo in the Camp Nou with which he returned the
gesture to 10 Barca. More crushing was his last face-to-face, a 0-3 at the
Bernabéu that showed the potential of Barca against Real Madrid more concerned
to stop Leo Messi than to generate football and fight for victory.
