Barcelona
After winning the Spanish Cup, Barcelona won the title, so they can be satisfied with their season. The cherry on top will be the victory against big rivals Real Madrid on Sunday. Big shock for home side was the elimination from Champions League when AS Roma beat them 3-0 and went through. However, they have already forgot that defeat and start to play even better, so they will be fully motivated to beat Real Madrid upfront their supporters. Home side is the only team in La Liga without defeat this season, so they will have another reason to give their maximum and take at least one point. Leo Messi play fantastic this season. He has already scored 32 La Liga goals, so he will be focused to increase that number and confirm that he is one of the best players we’ve seen in the recent years.
Real Madrid
Real Madrid don’t shine in La Liga this season and they are currently standing at the 3rd position. They still have a chance to reach the second position, but they will have to beat Barcelona at Camp Nou. Visitors made another great result in the UEFA Champions League and reach the final, so their main focus will be for the match against Liverpool in Kiev. They eliminated Bayern Munich in the semi-finals on Tuesday, so they will try to make good result against champions. There is a tradition in La Liga for ‘pasillo’ (guard of honour) prior to the start of El Clásico, so Real Madrid should forming a guard of honour and congrats to champions, but their manager Zindine Zidane announced that they will not do it. “I don’t understand the concept of the guard of honour and so we aren’t going to do it.” However, Real Madrid will be fully motivated to beat Barcelona away, but home side want the same.
