It's that time of the season when everyone have got to stick to their television screens- El Clasico, as Real Madrid look to take on Barcelona in the Copa Del Ray Final.
According to Real Madrid's official website, on meeting in the Copa Del Ray Final, both teams would be head-to-head in the Copa Del Ray Final for the seventh time.
Both the Spanish behemoths have three wins for each other in the Copa Del Ray Final with Real Madrid's 2011 win in the Finals being the most recent one.
This might be the last opportunity for Barcelona to save their season as they travel to Valencia for the Final facing the invincible Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid. The Catalan club got eliminated by Atletico Madrid from the UEFA Champions League and are currently trailing the LaLiga leaders Atletico Madrid by four points. That's two trophies which have slipped out of the Catalonians.
On the other hand, Ancelotti's Madrid are on the second spot in the LaLiga behind Atletico Madrid from three points. They have been aggressive throughout the 2013-14 season and look set to put the final nail in Gerado Martino's coffin. Cristiano Ronaldo would still be a question for the El Clasico as he wasn't on the pitch even against Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League in the Quarter-Finals.
CURRENT FORMS-
Real Madrid- L W W W L W
Barcelona- W W D W L L
POSSIBLE LINEUPS-
Barcelona (4-3-3): Pinto; Alves, Mascherano, Adriano, Alba; Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta; Messi, Fàbregas, Neymar
Real Madrid (4-2-3-1): Casillas; Carvajal, Ramos, Pepe, Coentrao; Alonso, Modric; Bale, di Maria, Morata; Benzema
LAST MEETING- The last El Clasico turned out be a sensational one; really, it had everything packed in it. A red card, penalties and a number of lead changes with the Catalans winning over the Madrid side, thanks to Lionel Messi's hat-trick .
MATCH PREDICTION-
I am shamelessly going to predict this El Clasico in favor of Real Madrid. Despite the fact that the previous results in the El Clasico for Real Madrid were not worth remembering, but this time I think they'll edge Gerado Martino's Barcelona.
So, according to me, it would be a 2-1 win for Real Madrid.
