That's why the two rivals will do everything within their power to make sure they win . But going by their current form and performance at the moment, I think Real Madrid are gonna win match come next week
First of all I am now looking forward to the game between Real Madrid and Liverpool. This game might be harder for Real Madrid than many would think right now. If it is a demanding game for the Real Madrid players, it might also have some influence on the game between Madrid and Barcelona. As long as everyone remains healthy after the Champions League game, I think Real Madrid will have a decent chance to win that game against Barcelona, which would make the league a little bit more interesting again.
At the same time it is a match ball game in my opinion and Barcelona is well aware of that. If they win that game then there is nothing to be won in La Liga for Real Madrid this season. Some important days ahead of Madrid.
