Barça and Madrid recover the joy: clash of titans in the Clasico

The past 26 October, was foreseen that it contested the first Classical of the season​: the one of the first turn of LaLiga Santander in the Camp Nou. However, the riots in the streets of Barcelona carried to LaLiga and to the Committee of Competition to the decision to postpone the meeting and look for a new date that, in this case, went on 18 December.

In this moment, the sportive situation of the two teams was very distinct. The Real Madrid came of a series of game and results nefasta, still of hangover after tropiezos unexpected like the goleada in Paris against the PSG, the tie home against the Witches, or the defeat against the recently risen Mallorca. The Barça seemed the big favourite since, in spite of that it did not convince by game, yes did it by results.

Since, it has happened more than a month and both teams have reinforced his reliability. Especially, the Real Madrid, since it seems that Zinedine Zidane has given at last with the key so that the team was solid in defence and dangerous in attack. From the tie home in front of the Betis, the whites have won four parties playing to a good level and only have empatado against the PSG, in a party that dominated.

Maybe, the team madridista have been the big benefited by the postponement of the Classical since, if the past month of October purgaba his fault of intensity and of clairvoyance, in December have arrived knowing to what play and having showed that they can face up to any rival, by powerful that was.

The Barça also has given his hit

In spite of that the Real Madrid has improved a lot in hardly some weeks, the FC Barcelona also has showed his competitiveness. After alarming parties like the ones of Raise or Leganés, to the ones of Ernesto Valverde arrived them two proofs of fire: the visit of the Borussia Dortmund in Champions League and the duel in Wanda Metropolitan against the Athletic of Madrid.

In spite of that the bad game against the Leganés invited to the pessimism, the Barça did not fail: partidazo against the Dortmund (3-1) to seal the pass to eighth of Champions and victory very suffered and worked against the Athletic (0-1). Two victories against two rivals of entity to show to the barcelonismo that, as it said Laporta in his day, "are not so bad, man". It will touch to expect to the day 18 to witness a duel between two titanes that every time approach more to his best version.
