The 4th El classico is on our hands, as Spanish Champions Barcelona take on Real Madrid in the Champions league Semi final first leg.
Lionel Messi
With the traditional rivalry between the two teams growing since the arrival Jose Mourihno, Thursday’s game provides another chance for the two teams to show who the better Spanish team is.
Barcelona are eight points ahead of Real Madrid in the Spanish La liga, but Mourihno’s men recently beat Barcelona 1-0 in the Spanish Cup.
Barcelona with all their arsenal of star players led by Lionel Messi and David Villa fit to start will look at the recent thrashing of Real Madrid 6-1 in their first league match at the Nou Camp, before drawing 1-1 at the corresponding fixture at the Barnabeu.
While proving a point that he can beat Barcelona will be a big drive for Mourihno, the charismatic Portuguese coach will want to set the record as the only coach to win the Champions league with three teams if he can beat Barcelona and succeed in the final.
