Default The El Clasico Thread
Because it's too big a game to be kept in a mere football thread.



Some information for those that don't know.

El Clįsico (English: The Classic), also known as El derbi Espańol or El Cląssic,[1] is the name given to any football match between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. It is contested twice a year in the Spanish La Liga competition, and more often if the clubs meet in other competitions. Other than the UEFA Champions League Final, it is the most followed club football match in the world, watched by hundreds of millions of people.[2]
The rivalry comes about as Madrid and Barcelona are the two largest cities in Spain, and the two clubs are the richest, most successful and influential football clubs in the country. Real Madrid has amassed 73 trophies and Barcelona 70, while Athletic Bilbao comes third with 32 trophies. They are sometimes identified with opposing political positions, with Real Madrid viewed as representing Spanish nationalism, and Barcelona viewed as representing Catalan nationalism. The dates for your diary.

Copa Del Rey Final Wednesday April 20th - 8/9 CET - Mestalla Stadium, Valencia

I think the League meeting will be a draw, Barcelona will win the Kings cup and Barcelona will get through the semi finals.

That might have something to do with the fact I prefer Barcelona.

I want Barcelona to win all the games because then it proves that you can buy the best players on the planet and still lose. Manchester City and Chelsea have fallen this season so lets see Real Madrid fall!

Just in case you needed reminding of the demolition job of earlier this season.



I love this match.

Good to see Carles back in.

Really great first half of football in this game. Barcelona should have had a penalty when Villa was tripped by Casillas, Messi had two great chances. Real have had a few chances themselves.

Also Xavi and Sergio have completed more passes in that half than the whole Real team put together.

Barcelona 1-0 up, Villa got round Raul Albiol and was pulled down, Albiol sent off and Messi scored the resulting penalty.

I know but that was a super duper dive.

Ronaldo also dived in the first half, but didn't get booked. The known cheat.

La Liga wrapped up for Barca, now for the Copa Del Rey on Wednesday.

Real won the King's cup, Barca had the better chances but tactically Mourinho played a good game. They ended with 10 men when Di Maria was shown two yellows, no doubt Jose will moan again about the conspiracy.
