Can El Clasico Live Up to Last Season’s Drama?
With the history of rivalry between the two giants of Spanish football, neither of whom have spent a single season outside Spain’s top division, El Clasico is a worthy title for the two seasonal meetings of Real Madrid and Barcelona. Both possess an immense array of talent, but equally shoulder an enormous burden of expectation. Madrid currently have the upper hand in their tussle for supremacy, having bagged the title last season, and building a four point lead in this campaign. The last meeting of these sides produced a game worthy of the ‘El Clasico’ title, a 3-3 draw with a superb hat-trick from Lionel Messi.
Unfortunately for Frank Rijkaard the Argentine tore a muscle in last weekend’s 3-0 win over Valencia, joining Thierry Henry on the sidelines. The pressure is now on Samuel Eto’o – himself recently returned from a long lay-off - to lead the line. The Cameroon striker scored twice against Los Che, with the third added by Eidur Gudjohnsen who may continue to deputise on Sunday. For much of the season Barca have struggled to shrug off the distraction of stories linking Ronaldinho with a January transfer away from the Catalans, but Ronny has returned to the first team and form in recent games. This game provides the perfect platform for the Brazilian to remind the world of his talents.
Madrid have doubts over Arjen Robben and Christoph Metzelder, but are likely to field the same side that beat Osasuna 2-0 over the weekend. Los Blancos have gained draws on the last two visits to the Nou Camp, and would be happy to maintain their four point advantage over Barca with another stalemate. Jose Mourinho continues to cast a shadow over both managers - particularly Rijkaard - who know that a poor performance here could seriously damage their reputations. Barcelona’s home advantage is enough to give them marginal favouritism at PinnacleSports.com 2.110 (-0.5) with Real Madrid 1.826 (+0.5) – a market priced to 102%.
