Barcelona vs Real Madrid Football Match of Spain

00:13

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.

Spanish Super Cup 2015: Barcelona vs Athletic Bilbao

06:41
Barcelona look Monday the 'miracle' to overcome the 4-0 first-leg against Athletic Club and win the Super Cup of Spain, which would be his fifth title of 2015 and keep alive the dream of repeating the sixth of six seasons ago.

Just 72 hours after the disaster at San Mamés, Barca will try to turn around the tie at the Camp Nou will record a grand entrance, but with an unusual atmosphere, because much of the Catalans partners is still on vacation.

The stadium will be filled by both an unusual profile, that make Barca exploit the few parties that are paid to visit the Catalan coliseum and tourists wanting to see the European champions.

Still, players and coaches agree that the support of the Camp Nou will be essential to create the necessary atmosphere for achieving a feat that happens, especially because the team regain the defensive solidity that exhibited last season.

In the last two games, Barca have conceded eight goals Sevilla-four and four of Athletic- something that did not happen even once last season. And get some again tomorrow against both options would definitely ruin the Catalans.

The Spaniard coach will be missing once again, with two key players, defender Jordi Alba and forward Neymar da Silva, and keeps the question of whether to continue to pursue the goal by Marc-Andre ter Stegen, despite the two unfortunate parties that has caught the German this week, or Claudio Bravo line up for the first time this season.

Meanwhile, Athletic Club faces around the Supercup as a historic opportunity to reopen their cases 31 years after winning the last title, inspired by the resounding 4-0 game at San Mames.

With Atletico fans still in full hangover after the unforgettable display of his team against the Catalan giants, Ernesto Valverde and his players prepare the appointment aware of the great opportunity before them, but also from the utmost prudence in view of the huge potential rival.

The result of the first leg and the real possibility of achieving the title might encourage too Valverde not touch the eleven as good performance achieved in the first leg and let the rotations for that appointment Zilina, important but not decisive given that the junction will be resolved one week later in San Mames.

The same English United striker Wayne Rooney has proved that not forgotten the losses in both finals to recognize that Barca "were better". The captain of the Red Devils scored the 1-1 at the end of 2011, which soon served his team, who ended up losing 3-1.

It will also be a new opportunity to see the more unusual as Sergi Roberto and Marc Bartra, and Sandro, Munir and company, who did such a good role in the first game against Los Angeles Galaxy (1-2) and this year should give a step forward so they would not escape the train role in the first team.

Another of the attractions is on the bench, where coach Luis Enrique Martinez was reunited with one of his coaches during his time as Barca player: Louis van Gaal.The Dutch agreed with him in two stages as Barca and twelve years later again face to face, this time both on the bench, but on different computers.


The English team will be orphaned in the band and Van Gaal knows that the canary would be a reinforcement of luxury for a team since losing the final two against Barca seems to raise its head, to the point that two seasons ago and was classified to play in Europe.

Barca are now the fifth of this competition, which features ten teams, which each only played four games.
