Real Madrid versus Barcelona 23/dec/2017
There is a reason why they called it “The Classic”
Since 1929 one of the most anticipating matches of Spanish football or football
in general is the El Clasico match between Barcelona and Real Madrid.The two
greatest players in history Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi will fight for
goals and glory as they meet on Saturday 23 December 2017. Barcelona had some
up and down after selling the most expensive player in the world to Paris Saint
Germaine. They tried to look for a replacement by purchasing Gerard Deulofeu
from Everton on a £10.80 million. Deulofeu has not been able to fit in the shoe
of Neymer. Barcelona moved the earth to search for a replacement and finally
agree to take in Ousmane Dembele worth £94.50 million, Paulinho worth £36.00
million and Nelson Senedo worth £27.45 million. The 20 years old Ousmane
Dembele who seem to fit in the shoe of the greatest star Neymer has not yet
been able to show off his amazing skills due to injury. He may or may not
feature in the El Clasico match against Real Madrid on 23/12/2017. The 29 years
old Paulinho has been able to prove to Barcelona that he is the right man in
that mid field section. Barcelona is currently maintaining the 1st position
with 42 point after playing 16 matches in the la liga 2017/2018 league table.
Their performance is quite brilliant but can they keep it up to their two
rivalry team Athletico Madrid and Real Madrid. Real Madrid on the other hand is
currently on the 4th position with 31 points after playing 15
matches in the 2017/2018 la liga league table. So far, this has not been the
best season for them but they have the confidence of winning the Champion
league cup. Real Madrid also sells out two amazing player in history Pepe and
James Rodriguez. Pepe who has always featured in all El Clasico match will not
be available for this game. Below is a list of match won, lose and draw for

Between
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi who is better lies in
your decision. Messi is better at building up attacks bringing his team mates
into play and can find that killer pass which can split even the water tight
defense of opposition. On the other hand, Ronaldo who is more athletic makes solo
runs on the wings can score all types of goals. The answer to the above
question is, both players are great, fantastic and brilliant in handling balls
and scoring goals. Putting me in a tight corner to choose which player is
better; I think I will go for Lionel Messi because he has achieved what Ronaldo
has done in a younger age. If you disagree with me, the comment box is always
available.
