Barcelona Preview
Barcelona face a clear task - they need to get the champions title back to Catalonia. They have been eliminated from the Champions League and Europa League. The La Liga title is the only target they have. The intrigue will be destroyed if Barcelona win, and they will do everything they can to achieve this result in this El Clásico.
Barcelona have been very successful at Spotify Camp Nou in this season, with only one defeat in 16 games (12 wins, 3 draws).Only Bayern managed to beat Barcelona on their home field (3:0).
Bad news for the Barcelona fans. Some players are only trying to recover from their injuries. Robert Lewandowski has already missed several weeks, and his participation in El Clásico is under question. The same is true for Pedri. Ousmane Dembélé is unlikely to play as his recovery is taking more time than it was expected.
Real Madrid Preview
The team from the capital of Spain is quite many points behind the main opponent for the first time for many years. Neither the club nor their fans like this situation. Mass media make the situation even worse by claiming that Carlo Ancelotti can be sacked if Real don’t get any title in this season. Some Spanish journalists claim that the head coach can’t control the team anymore and some players are not glad with his decisions about starting line-up. The rumors have emerged after Real were beaten by Barcelona in El Clásico in the first semi-final of Copa Del Rey. The game that will kick off on March 19 is the perfect reason to respond to all these rumors.
Two defenders, David Alaba and Ferland Mendy won’t be able to help Real Madrid. They both are still recovering from the injuries.
