El Clasico next week will be an important point for Barcelona if they are able to come out victorious because this match will separate the points between the two teams. Barcelona have the upper hand this season because they are stronger in the Laliga and that will make it difficult for real madrid in the upcoming El Clasico match. if Real Madrid loses then the point gap will be 12 points that makes Barcelona the frontrunner to win the Laliga Trophy this season.
Barcelona is leading the La Liga standings with 9 points, the result of the next El Classico won't bring a big impact on them. Although Barcelona gets a loss, they still lead the table and Real Madrid is still difficult to overtake them. It is only a crucial match for Real Madrid, they must win the match if they still dream to chase Barcelona in the 1st place. Losing the next El Classico will simply destroy the dream to win La Liga title this season because if Barcelona leads with 12 points, it will be impossible to chase them. Considering this matter, I am sure Real Madrid will play all out, they will struggle hard to get 3 points in El Classico match.
El classico Next week will be difficult match because that is the only match that Real Madrid has got to win if they really want to catch up with Barcelona before the end of the season. While Barcelona will want to extend their lead at the top of the table.
That's why the two rivals will do everything within their power to make sure they win . But going by their current form and performance at the moment, I think Real Madrid are gonna win match come next week
