"El Clasico", this is how spanish people call the games between the 2 greatest club in the spanish league, FC Barcelona and Real Madrid.

These two teams are way overany other spanish team. oOver the 79 championship played since the creation of the spanish league, only 28 were won by other teams.
Both teams are also among the very best in the World, with some of the very best players :
Real : Cristiano Ronaldo, Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Pepe, Xabi Alonso, Mesut Ozil, Kaka, etc...
Barça : Leo Messi, David Villa, Andres Iniesta, Xavi Hernandez, Carles Puyol, Daniel Alves, etc...

coincidentaly, this years, there will be 4 "clasicos" within 3 weeks, starting on April 16th

April 16th, Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, Madrid : Real Madrid - FC Barcelona
Spanish league, game 32

April 20th, Mestalla Stadium, Valencia : FC Barcelona - Real Madrid
Spanish Cup Final.

April 27th, Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, Madrid : Real Madrid - FC Barcelona
Champion's League Semi-Final, game 1

May 3rd, Nou Camp, Barcelona : FC Barcelona - Real Madrid
Champion's League Semi-Final, game 2


On May 7th 2008, Madrid won the "clasico" for the last time (4-1). Since that day, 5 games were played, all were won by Barcelona.
On november 2th9 2010 was the last game played fore now, Barcelona won, (5-0).

As for now, the spanish league results are :
1 : Barcelona, 84pts, 31 games played, 27 win, 3 draws, 1 loss
2 : Madrid, 76 points, 31 games played, 24 win, 4 draws, 3 loss
3 : Valencia, 60 points, 31 games played, 18 win, 6 daws, 7 loss
7 games still to be played

As you see, Barcelona and Madrid cannot be catched up, whatever happen, they will get the top 2 positions. Barcelona is ahead, with quite a secure gap from madrid but Madrid still has a slice shotif they win the game on April 16th (victoy worth 3 points, draw worth 1 point, loss worth 0) but any other result will nearly annihilate any opportunity for them to be crowned at the end of the championship.

Spanish league best scorers :
1) Messi (Barcelona, 29 goals)
2) Ronaldo (Madrid, 28 goals)
3) Villa (Barcelona, 17 goals)


So, what do you think about all this ?
Are you gonna watch these games ?
Who are you gonna support ?
Any idea about what is gonna happen, what will be the results, who's gonna score ?


If you don't know much about soccer but you'd like to see cool games, you should watch these games : great teams, great players, great coaches... And, usually, these games have many goals scored last tile it ended with 0-0 was on 1989.
 
For the 2 first games, Mourinho deserves ala the credits.
Anyways, with so many great players, it is sad to se Madrid play such an over defensive tactic.

Somehow, the 5-0 in the Nou Camp may have diserve Barcelona : This particular night, Mourinho realised that Madrid couldn't win vs Barcelona by playing offensively. So he decided to play extremely defensively.

The result is that games that could haver ben amazing are indeed quite anoying.
