Barcelona team news ahead of Real Madrid
Barcelona are already 16 points ahead of their great rivals
Real Madrid in the Spanish Primera Liga. Even with 12 games left after
tomorrow’s Clasico, there is very little chance of Barcelona losing the

for a good result at the Bernabeu, though, to banish the painful
memories of the recent defeats by Madrid and AC Milan.

It’s all about attitude for Barcelona vs. Milan
The players and coaching staff of Barcelona know that this
one game against AC Milan could define the whole season for the club. If

that sees them through will galvanize the team for the rest of the
season and install Barcelona back as favourites to lift the European cup
again.
