“Watch out for Leo Messi in El Clasico”
An El Clasico that could be worth the La Liga title.
On Saturday in “Alfredo Di Stefano” is played one of the most ardent challenges of European football and not only, exactly the duel between Real Madrid and Barcelona that has suddenly taken on extraordinary importance after the successive mistakes of Atletico Madrid have given the Blaugrana the opportunity, but also Zidane’s team to approach significantly in the rankings.
The last 9 weeks of the season will be fiery for the title in Spain.
1 point is the difference between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid while 3 points is that between Los Colchoneros and Los Blancos.
Before this duel spoke one of the most experienced footballers who has played over 30 El Clasico in his career, Karim Benzema.
The Frenchman after Ronaldo’s departure has taken the role of leader in Real’s attack and that Los Blancos have walked at a satisfactory pace in the last 3 seasons, the credit goes to him as well.
“It is the most beautiful match in the world,” the 33-year-old Frenchman said in an interview with Spanish media for “El Clasico”.
“Barcelona likes to play with the ball and above all they have an excellent goalkeeper (Ter Stegen), who also knows how to play.”
“Messi? He does everything on the field and we have to be very careful with him because we know he is very dangerous. We have to play like the first phase match, to beat Barca.”
Real won the first challenge this season 3-1 at the “Camp Nou”.
Benzema is in very good shape this season and all eyes are on him, until recently Vinicius Junior has given signals that he can contribute a lot to Los Blancos, after two goals against Liverpool.
Benzema so far counts 24 goals in 34 appearances in all competitions.
