Every edition of El Clásico is loaded with its own storylines, each strand adding another layer to the historic rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Described by La Liga as a “true cultural phenomenon, drawing the attention of millions of fans worldwide,” Sunday’s match at Barça’s Camp Nou stadium will be with fraught with significance, for the result could all but settle the title race.
The return match is at the Camp Nou on April 5. However, Real did triumph in the league game back in October at the Bernabéu, Ancelotti’s team winning El Clásico 3-1. Barça coach Xavi downplayed any notion that his team was the favorite to win Sunday’s game. “They’re strong. Very strong, recently,” Xavi said, according to Barça’s website. “They’re physically much better than they were in January. I’m sure they’ll put our defense under pressure.
