After the thumping 3-0 loss to Barca at home and getting knocked out of their arch rivals from the cup competition this game couldn't have come any sooner for Real Madrid. They are currently low on confidence and luck also seams to have run out for them. Despite creating lots of clear cut opportunity they were unable to get one past the great Wall named Ter Stegan. The only solace for them would be the form of Vinicius Jr. He is proving to be a real gem and future superstar they have unearthed. He needs to taken care of nurtured properly. Madrid has to in any way perform salvage something from this game or they will loose out on their fans.Los Blancos are now without a victory against their arch rivals in their past 5 encounters which is the longest since their spell of 2011.
Both Santigo Solari and Ernesto Velverde will once again be playing their best 11 today keeping in mind what is at stake. For solari it is probably his job at Madrid.He needs to accommodate a Bale in the starting line-up and also bring back Courtois in Goal.
On the injury and suspension front , Both teams doesnot have any suspensions. Barca will probably start with Arthur in their squad after the injury lay off in place of Roberto in midfield. Cillessen and Rafinha will still be unavailable for selection due to injury. As for Real Madrid, they will be without Marcus Llorente due to injury and Isco (as I told you last time😂😂).Barca will need to provide more cover to Semedo to tackle Vinicius as he looks threatening down the right flank.Ramos is doubtful for the match as he looks to have aggreviated his hamstrings.It is sad to see a player of his quality out of such a big match.
PLAYERS TO WATCH OUT FOR
BARCELONA : LIONEL MESSI, DEMBELE, PIQUE TER STEGAN
REAL MADRID: VINICIUS Jr.,Benzema, kroos , Casemiro.
RECENT FORM
BRACELONA: DWDWW
REAL MADRID: WWLWL
The match looks tightly poised to be a thriller. Both teams will fight their tooth and nail to win in this competitions. Considering the recent slump in form of Madrid and greater pressure of playing at home 3 days of a thumping loss to the same team at the same ground the atmosphere would probably be a lot heated in there. It will be match between the new flair of Madrid vs classy Barca.
As usual I predict Barca to once again come up triumphs in this match and cause we have our wall MARC ANDRE TER STEGAN
