"You win to go back to see you" was the premise of Joan Laporta during his precandidatura to the presidency of the FC Barcelona, a sentence that, by simpler that seemed, had a background more than important and that this Saturday, in the visit of the Barça to the Gave Stefano to confront to the Real Madrid, can begin to consummate .

Joan Laporta is one of the worst enemies of Florentino Pérez in what football refers . During his first mandate like president of the Barça, commissioned to humiliate, absolutely to his rival. Proof of this, went the five victories of the blaugrana in the Classical (1-2, 3-0, 0-3, 1-0 and 0-2) by the two triumphs of the Real Madrid (1-2 and 4-2), without explaining that, with Laporta in the loge and Pep Guardiola in the bench of Santiago Bernabéu, the Barça achieved the historical 2-6, in the season 2008-09, that later finished to celebrate with the 'sextete'.

The true is that the 'morbo' of the reunion between Florentino Pérez and Joan Laporta, eleven years afterwards, goes much more there that the immediate crash between Madrid and Barça, that keep firm in the fight by LaLiga for 'snatch it' to the Athletic of the 'Cholo' Simeone, remembering that Laporta was the worst of the nightmares of a Real Madrid that, between 1999 and 2003 had conquered until eight titles (two Champions and two Leagues), and until 2007 did not go back to win any.

Besides, with the open battles in this moment, with the signing of Erling Haaland like main war between the dispatches of the Bernabéu and Camp Nou, adds him another touch 'spicy' to the crossing between both, this time in Valdebebas. Both teams contest the signing of the Norwegian forward of the Borussia Dortmund, in the middle of a deep economic crisis that cross both.

The Classical that defines it everything

Of the winner of the Classical of this Saturday will go out, probably, the candidate to litigate the last stretch of the season with the Atleti. The Barça add 65 points (one less than the 'colchoneros') whereas the Real Madrid registers 63. To win the blaugrana, would obtain the momentary leadership (waiting for the crash of the Athletic in front of the Betis) and a distance of five points with the ones of Zinedine Zidane.

Both teams will arrive with good feelings to the Gave Stefano. The ones of Koeman arrive with an imprtantísima victory in front of the Valladolid (1-0) that allowed them recortar distances with the leadership, whereas the Madrid arrives launched after the victory in front of the Liverpool, also in the Gave Stefano, by the Champions League.
