It's time for El Classico!

It’s once again that time of the year in the football calendar, when Barcelona versus Real Madrid meet for the 85th El Classico.

It’s a clash of the best players in the world. Messi and Neymar versus Bale and Ronaldo, and many more.

The players participating have truckload of medals, in domestic cups, league, champions league and World Cup events.

Just a look at the market price would tell you the most expensive players in the world are going to share 90 minutes at Camp Nou this weekend.

Both the teams have not been at their very best recently. Barcelona is undefeated though this season.

Recent El Classico’s have favoured Real Madrid as the special one was dent on breaking the Barcelona dominance. The Real Madrid dominance has also grown due to Barcelona’s defensive demise and lack of market activity in defence has not helped.

This game if anything would be the ultimate baptism of fire for both Gareth Bale and Neymar.

Barcelona on one hand have not had much change of face from previous season, but their defence has improved with Carles Puyol back.

For Real Madrid, Isco has been a good bargain and Benzema seems to have awoken from his slumber.

For both coaches of Real Madrid and Barcelona, Carlo (Ancelotti) and Tata (Gerardo Martino), it’s also their first El Classico.

Carlo has had many big nights in European football but for Tata it would be his first and it’s going to be interesting to see how he sets up his team.

It’s a chance for him to prove how much his worth.

No doubt by the end of this match their will be talking points, some handbag incidents and ref blunders, but the main show is of course Messi v Ronaldo.

In 2013, Ronaldo thus far has been in good form while Messi’s injuries have plagued his performance.

Some famous pundits have stated that Ronaldo is the best with Swede Zlatan Ibramovic, so it’s now time for Messi to show why he is still the best.

Due to the home advantage, I think Barca will win it.

Bring on the El Classico!
