There is going to be a lovely El Clasico match in less than a week in the league. I'm waiting for it excitedly despite the big gap between these teams. El Clasicos are still special in this league no matter what. The last one in the La Liga didn't end up well for Barcelona. But this time looks very different. Especially I'm taking the last El Clasico as reference which was in Santiago Bernabeu in the Copa del Rey. Barcelona did a really great work by getting a win there and both teams had their main lineups as well.
Real Madrid are mainly concentrated on the Champions League now after the gap has increased very much. They have the rematch against Liverpool four days before as well. If the players become tired it would be even easier for Barcelona to win in Camp Nou. One way or another I still expect Barcelona to win this El Clasico.
It must be admitted that Real Madrid has a busy and decisive schedule for Real Madrid starting from mid-February until next April, Real Madrid will play three different competitions at once. Ancelotti certainly has to be smart in rotating players so that his players can stay fit until, yes, hopefully there won't be another hurricane of injuries for Real Madrid's players considering that many of Real Madrid's second liners are not worth it. El clasico Laliga on March 15, I think is very decisive for Real Madrid to restore the team's confidence for the next El Clasico in April leg 2 of the Copa Del rey.
