It's hard to miss El Clasico this time, Barcelona is in its best form in La Liga especially when playing at its headquarters. Real Madrid, who want to get full points at Camp Nou, must work hard to dismantle Barcelona defense which is very sturdy. Of course, this is not an easy job for Real Madrid players.
Real Madrid must play optimally to avoid defeat, Real Madrid defense must be tightly closed so as not to concede goals. Real Madrid goal this time is to reduce the distance to 6 points and at the same time avenge their defeat in the first leg of the Copa Del Rey. If they lose, La Liga will belong to Barcelona because it is very difficult to chase 12 points.
We have to avoid defeat, otherwise we have to be willing to be 12 points away from Barcelona. Real Madrid really must win this El Clasico, of course there is no reason to let Barcelona find the net to score goals. I even hoped Real Madrid would score from the first half even though I know it's a difficult job. Barcelona's defense has been very good this season, but I hope Real Madrid put more pressure on them to get them in trouble. I really expected a win, maybe 0-1 or 0-2.
Apart from the previous two poor El Clasico results, I think Real Madrid have to learn a lot to get positive results today. I know Barcelona is ready for all the consequences of this match, but I would be really disappointed if Barcelona managed to win 3 El Clasicos in a row.
