MORBO: Three Classical in a month and two Madrid-Barça in a week

It did time that FC Barcelona and Real Madrid did not confront in Glass of Rey. In concrete, from the final that both teams contested in the season 2013-14, and that it was won by the merengues in Mestalla. This Friday 1 February 2019, the draw of semifinals of the Glass of the King 2018-19 offered a double clash between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, what means that the Spanish football will live a very special climax along the month of February, in which they will contest three Classical.

A more or less comparable situation to which lived in the campaign 2010-11, when FC Barcelona and Real Madrid confronted until in four occasions in hardly three weeks, between 16 April and on 3 May 2011. Barcelona and Real Madrid were comandados then by Guardiola and Mourinho, and in the Classical jumped sparks between the two teams, causing even a schism in the Selection.

This time, the FC Barcelona will contest the first Classical in his stadium, corresponding to the gone of semifinals of the Glass of the King programmed for the Wednesday 6 February; the turn will contest on 27 February in Chamartín, and hardly some days afterwards, on 2 March, the FC Barcelona will play the corresponding day of LaLiga Santander 2018-19 in front of the merengues in Santiago Bernabéu.

Two consecutive parties in the stadium of the eternal rival, for which Ernesto Valverde will have to program very well his alignments titled, thinking also in the dispute of the eighth of final of the UEFA Champions League against the Olympique of Lyon.

It does years, in the season 2010-11, the four Classical in three weeks that played culés and merengues were loaded of tension, with verbal disputes between Guardiola and Mourinho in press conference, and entrances and gestures very ugly on the terrain of game. The environment was so taut that Íker Boxes and Xavi Hernández, captains of one and another team, had to mediate to recover the concord in the Spanish Selection.

Three Classical with less tension, but with a lot of morbo

It does not foresee that the three Classical of this month of February of 2019 are so taut and morbosos like the ones of antaño, but igualemente will hoard the attention and the focus mediático of the international press, as well as of the lovers of the football. The FC Barcelona will have three opportunities more to go back to show that, in spite of the change of trainer, this year the picture of Solari is to years light of the group of Valverde.
