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
Spanish title this season. Jordi Roura and his players will be desperate
for a good result at the Bernabeu, though, to banish the painful
memories of the recent defeats by Madrid and AC Milan.
Lionel Messi is likely to start, despite suffering from illness this week. The Argentinean star is keen to remind the jubilant fans of Madrid that Tuesday’s result was an aberration they should not get accustomed to. The Spanish cup game and the Champions league game in Milan were the two worst performances of the season by a long way by Barca, but they are determined to bounce back.
Two players who will not be in the team are Fabregas and Xavi, who are both in need of a rest. Although the Clasico tomorrow is important for confidence and morale, the really important game is against AC Milan on March 12th, and so it is vital that Xavi and Fabregas are ready for that.
David Villa has been showing good form and has been desperate for more time on the pitch, so he should get his wish tomorrow. The news from Madrid is that Ronaldo will start on the bench in order to stay fresh for the second leg against Manchester United.
