Barça-Madrid: A Classical to sink or shoot in LaLiga

There are parties that mark the future of a team along the seasons, was for well or for bad. A Classical is, without place to doubts, one of them. FC Barcelona and Real Madrid will see the faces this Sunday in the Camp Nou, from the 16.15 (Spanish peninsular hour) in a meeting to the that arrive in adverse situations, and without his big references goleadoras of the last seasons, as they are Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. With the Argentinian lesionado and the Portuguese in the Juventus, the 22 players that have the honour to form part of the respective alignments will have to step advance after the show and, of course, of a hypothetical favourable result.

Neither Messi neither Cristiano will be on the lawn of a Classical for the first time in 11 years, but the tension, the morbo and the rivalry will keep intact. The Barça arrives to the Classical like leader in the table clasificatoria of LaLiga Santander, at least before they began to play the first parties of the day, in contrast with a Real Madrid that leaves seventh and that has to his trainer, Julen Lopetegui, on a tightrope. In fact, it is possible that the white technician was destituido this next week in the case of not obtaining a victory in the Camp Nou. 

A tie or a defeat in the Classical, joined to the triumph of teams like the Raise this same day, could sink even more to the merengues in the classification and deepen like this in a wound that does not leave of sangrar. In the Real Madrid do not convince neither the game neither the results, and precisely after losing in the Bernabéu against the Raise (1-2), the Real Madrid won asking the hour this Tuesday to Viktoria Plzen (2-1) in Champions League.

Of face to the Classical, will arrive with the remarkable drop of Dani Carvajal, and with some that another player that does not cross his best physical moment, as they are the cases of Marcelo and Isco Alarcón. The rest of the staff will be available to face up to a Barça without Leo Messi and with the absences of Umtiti and Vermaelen, in profit of the couple Hammered-Lenglet again in the defensive saga culé.

Lopetegui Is not trusting this beginning of campaign in Odriozola like relief of Carvajal, by what is possible that Nacho act of right side improvised in a defence with Varane, Bouquets and Marcelo. In the Barça, the main novelty will go back to be with all probability Rafinha Alcántara in replacement of Leo Messi, and with the paradox of Malcom and Dembélé -between the two cost more than 150 millions- in the bench, the second by bad performance and the first by causes that desconocen.

In spite of the adverse situation of results in which it arrives the Real Madrid to the Camp Nou, fits to stand out that it does not lose in the Barcelona sanctuary from 2015, when it did it after the goals of Mathieu and Luis Suárez, that countered the one of Cristiano Ronaldo. Since, with Zidane in the bench, the picture merengue has obtained two ties and two victories in the feudo barcelonista, some good results that form part of the past, because of the a lot of changes that have produced in the white staff in the last months.

A Classical with debuts and pending accounts

It will be a party, the Classical of this Sunday, also with several pending accounts between players. Sergi Roberto will want to 'avenge' of the no-announcement of Lopetegui for the World-wide, and of the expulsion that suffered in the last Classical after a dispute with Marcelo, whereas Arthur remained without playing in front of the Real Madrid in the past final of the World-wide of Clubs, when it still formed part of the staff of Guild. Valverde Will want to win for the first time to the whites in the Camp Nou, and Arturo Vidal has win to the white group after the controversial eliminations that suffered in Champions League, when it was a member of the Bayern Munich.

They confront two teams, besides, that are not showing solidity in the defensive line and that, in the case of the Real Madrid, has lost also a lot potential up with the course of Cristiano Ronaldo, the one who marked 50 goals by season. The command of the centre of the field could be key in a Classical in which they could debut the new signings of the Barça (Lenglet, Arthur, Arturo Vidal and Malcom) and also the ones of the Real Madrid, especially a Vinicius Jr that arrived with the poster of future star and still has not exploded.

Sánchez Martínez, with experience in the Classical

Sánchez Martínez will be the referee commissioned to direct the Classical of this Sunday in the Camp Nou, a referee with experience in this type of parties when having arbitrated already the Classical of the past League Santander in Santiago Bernabéu, that finished with victory culé by 0-3, and also in the stadium merengue the meeting of turn of the Supercopa of Spain 2017, that won the merengues by 2-0. The aim will be that this Sunday was not the big protagonist of the meeting with some that another controversy, although it fits to stand out that this will be the first Classical with the presence of the VAR, by what on the paper the referee's controversies would have to remain in a second flat. The time runs, and the ball is about to to film in the Camp Nou. A Classical that for many will be able to result decaffeinated, but that will go back to absorb, as always, to the planet football.
