Real Madrid vs Barcelona Live - 10 december 2011
Hours away from the second el Clasico, did the Barca players have enough time to rest and rejuvenate from the first one? Will their love and passion for the game be enough to win or will lethargy and mistakes haunt the final? Find out what we think after the jump.
After a rather intense final moments in the last el Clasico on Saturday, I wonder can both teams match the crazy drama and energy of the final minutes, or will it be a cautious encounter from start to finish. Madrid have shown this season that they have the players capable of outscoring the opponent, and last encounter’s closing seconds are testament to that. Ozil has shown how much he’s grown this season by orchestrating Madrid’s attack. His entry changed the game at Bernabeu and he was influential in Madrid getting the equalizer. I think Madrid will pressure high and try to give Barcelona a really good challenge in this final.
