El Classico games are always challenging and Real Madrid lost the control lately and needs to recover vs its eternal opponent. Odds are in favour of Barcelona for several reasons, including playing home, being more stable, winning Supercopa and the first leg of Copa Del Rey but just not forget that Real Madrid won the first El Classico game in La Liga this season with 3 goals to 1.
Real Madrid have no choice in La Liga, it is whether they win or say goodbye to the title. In Copa Del Rey, their mission is harder since they have to win with 2 goals or more..
I think the result of El classic also depends on the game tonight between Real Madrid and Liverpool in the champions league because Real Madrid somehow wins the game tonight they will start the Elclassico with a better atmosphere in their team while if they lose and Liverpool score enough goals to beat Real Madrid they will surely lose hope and this will have a negative effect for them before the El classic match.
Sometimes it's always different between other competitions for Real Madrid you can say in the Champions League they will stay focused so they can win against Liverpool twice in the first and second leg.
Regarding El Classico, of course it is more difficult to visit Camp Nou in La Liga. Real Madrid are a little frustrated, although there is still hope to increase their points, especially if they win next week, their chances are still quite wide open.
By winning the Champions League, I hope Real Madrid can be better than Barcelona and they will continue to be motivated to win it.
