Lionel, by the way, became the first football player who has managed to score up 30 goals in seven seasons of La Liga.
Real
As we have found out earlier, the Meringues experience certain problems at home arena. But Zinedine Zidane’s team is doing great in the Champions League.
On Tuesday Real Madrid hosted at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu Bayern in frames of the return semifinal match of the Champions League. On the 3rd minute of the match the hosts were chasing the lead but Karim Benzem’s double has corrected that situation. James Rodriguez has returned an intrigue to this game for half an hour but the football players from Munich didn’t manage to gain the result they wanted – 2:2.
Thus, Real has managed to set a record, having reached for the seventh time the final of the most prestigious Euro cup tournament. Only Milan and Inter had managed to do this for 6 times.
Because of injuries we don’t expect that Daniel Carvajal and Isco will participate.
Head-to-heads
Blaugrana have won with the score 3:0 in the first circle. In the previous season of the championship of Spain the Catalans have won one point at home (1:1) and three during the away match (3:2).
Bookmaker line:
Barcelona to win 1.72
Draw 4.55
Real to win 4.46
Match prediction
Real Madrid has spent a lot of physical and psychological forces in game against Bayern whereas the Catalans had time to prepare quietly to El Clasico for the whole week. We think that the team of Valverde will manage to achieve success.
