The next weekend will see again the big ‘Classical’ of the League Santander.<\/strong><\/a> The FC Barcelona<\/strong><\/a> and the Real Madrid<\/a><\/strong> will see the faces in the stadium Santiago Bernab\u00e9u to contest the corresponding duel to the penultimate day of the first turn of the championship. In front, Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi, the two big stars <\/strong>of both teams in which they will be put the majority of the focuses.<\/p>

Analysis to the detail of the duel between Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi<\/h2>

Moment of form<\/h3>

Leo Messi is being very upper to Cristiano Ronaldo in what it goes of season.<\/strong> The Argentinian forward has put to the team in the back and has assumed responsibilities after the escape of Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain. Already it was with goals or with played decisive, the Barcelona is of sweet and wants to show it in the Bernab\u00e9u.<\/strong> By his part, Cristiano comes to win the Balloon of Gold in a campaign in which the things do not finish him to go out, neither to level goleador neither participatory with the team.<\/p>

Smell of goal<\/h3>

Leo Messi also is being very upper to Cristiano Ronaldo <\/strong>level goleador. The Argentinian forward carries 14 so many<\/strong> in LaLiga Santander, and could be a lot of more if it had not commanded until 14 balloons to the stick in what it goes of season.<\/strong><\/a> By his part, the Portuguese only has achieved four goals, 10 less than the Argentinian. Cristiano is much more fall\u00f3n that of habit, something that repercute in the team and in his own morals.<\/p>

Technician and physicist<\/h3>

To measure that happen the years, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are increasingly veteran.<\/strong> The Portuguese, in his best period, was all power. The physicist no longer accompanies him so much to the Portuguese, that every time converts more in the figure of a leading striker, in comparison to the extreme of fantasy that was years backwards. By his part, Leo Messi keeps on being the most complete player of the world, able of desbordar with explosividad, to invent passes that only he knows to see or, simply, to annotate.  <\/strong><\/p>

Leadership<\/h3>

Both are the maximum exponent inside his respective changing rooms. The strong character of the Portuguese has carried him some that another problem in the white staff, <\/strong>but the true is that it is used to to appear in the important parties when the team more needs it. The Argentinian, by his part, is venerated and respected in the Barcelona changing room<\/strong>, that knows that it is, from does years, the big leader futbol\u00edstico of the team.<\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
