Barcelona:
The Futbol Club Barcelona leads the table of the Spanish La Liga after 22 match days with 50 points. The advantage over the first pursuer Atletico Madrid is six points. This season, the men of Ernesto Valverde could win 15 league games. There are also five draws and two defeats. There was a season’s defeat at home, the 3: 4 against Betis Sevilla, and one away, the 1: 2 at CD Leganes. With 60 goals, the Blaugrana have by far the best offense in the league. Real Madrid has the second best score here with 37 goals. In the last nine league games Barca conceded only four goals. Two Barca players are also leading La Liga scorers: Lionel Messi scores 21 goals, Luis Suarez 15 goals. Again and again the Catalans show how dependent they are on Messi. On Saturday Barcelona were in the league game at home against Valencia after 32 minutes already 0-2 behind, before the Argentine superstar turned up in the second round and with two goals from his team at least one point secured.
Without Messi, the Blaugrana had also lost the quarter-final first leg in Sevilla with 0: 2. In the second leg of the Argentine was back and Barca won 6-1, with a goal and a template of Messi. The fans of the reigning Spanish champion and cup winner were worried at the weekend when Messi had to be treated after 70 minutes of a collision with Toni Lato on the right thigh. After the game coach Valverde spoke only of a small tension in the thigh. The use of the magic flea against Madrid on Wednesday remains uncertain. Although Messi’s Blessur allows a bet against Real, the striker, together with Suarez and Coutinho could need a little rest. But can Valverde afford to spare a top star in the Clásico? Ousmane Dembele returns to the squad. Rafinha, Samuel Umtiti and Jasper Cillessen are injured.
Real Madrid :
After a horror start under coach Lopetegui, coach Santiago Solari has brought the royals back into calmer waters. After the 10th Match Real was with 14 points only in ninth place, seven points behind Barca. Meanwhile, Madrid has 42 points and takes third place. Only the gap to the Catalans is still eight points. With five wins, two draws and four defeats, Coach Solari’s men are the league’s third best away team. The goal difference on the opponent’s place is negative at 19:21. The last five competitive games in a row could win the whites all. In the last few games, the reigning champion of the Champions League even convinced several times in a row.
Among other things, thanks to condition coach Antonio Pintus, who was brought back by coach Solari back from the second link, the team has clearly won at tackling strength and liveliness. With young talents like Federico Valverde and Sergio Reguilon, Solari has missed the team a slow makeover. On Sunday, for the Royal, the duty was at home against Deportivo Alaves. Toni Kroos was spared and did not even stand in the squad. Real started powerful and with a lot of possession. If the home side had taken better advantage of their chances, Alaves would have not only broken 0: 1. The first twenty minutes of the second half made Madrid sleepy before the team started to pick up the pace again. The commitment was rewarded with two more goals to 3-0 victory. In addition to Benzema, Vinicius Jr. is currently very dangerous. Real can save the season but probably only with a new Champions League triumph.
