I don't understand why they make this a two legged affair. It should be one leg only. Anyways can't wait for Sunday tbh

Barca have lost Neymar so will probably play a 442 or will Deulofeu get the nod

Ronaldo is back in training for Madrid, but not yet fit to start. Will probably play the last 30 minutes of the game and then start the following game

Finally we get to see our 4312 against Barca, though knowing ZZ he'll probably play the 433 again with Asensio taking Ronaldo's spot.

Predicted RM line up:


Probable Barca line up


Predicted score 2-2

Modric is suspended, so RM will be without him on Sunday

Clasico these days are always nice. If this was a preseason game I wouldn't care but since a title is at stake I want us to beat them

In a two legged time we are very beatable, wish this was just one leg. I can see us losing on GD

Else Madrid dominate Barcelona in every position.

Nevermind, got the match mixed up with a different one. *

Definitely his best Clasico since 2012. Like Danyjr said it's hard when there is Messi with such an eye for a pass and Neymar with such speed. Without Neymar it's abit easier but still tough

Hopefully with our 4312 we can control the midfield and limit Messi getting on the ball

Yeah.....no

Nothing will eclipse Ronaldinho's masterclass that even earned him a standing ovation

And I hope we win because if we lose Zidane will have an excuse to play BBC. Need us to win important games with MICK and the Clasico is the only one left to win without the front three, we have won all the other games

Because Ronaldo only has 15 minutes of competitive football. Zidane is a very pragmatic coach, he won't play players when they're unfit and only trained for a few sessions. Ronaldo only came back last week. Then there's is the fact that we have no back up striker on the bench and we always have one. Not to mention if he starts Ronaldo then he might as well say goodbye to Kovacic which he won't risk while the window is open

RM XI

Keylor Navas; Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo; Casemiro, Kovacic, Kroos, Isco; Bale y Benzema

Barca line up

Ter Stegen; Aleix Vidal, Piqué, Umtiti, Jordi Alba; Busquets, Rakitic, Iniesta; Messi, Suárez y Deulofeu.
