True Madrid vs. Barcelona, 2013 El Clasico: It's deja-vu all over again - SB Nation

The two sides will meet again for their final group fit of the summer season, only four days after Real Madrid got Barcelona apart at the Camp Nou to achieve the Copa del Rey Final. If the very first thing you thought after Tuesday's remaining whistle at the Camp Nou was, we do not require to accomplish this again anytime soon, we have some bad news for you. We are carrying it out again. "It" obviously is yet another El Clasico match-up between Real Madrid and Barcelona only four days after Madrid's 3-1 triumph over Barcelona in the Copa del Rey semifinals. This conference is considerably less important contemplating Barca is still 16 points before Madrid in the Manhunter Liga dining table with only 13 games left to perform (including this weekend). Moreover for Real Madrid is a trip to Old Trafford for their Champions League second leg tie against Manchester United this coming Tuesday. Jose Mourinho would be crazy to risk any important players for this fit. The likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Mesut Ozil, Xabi Alonso, Sergio Ramos and the others should and must be either on the seat or entirely out of the area. Barcelona on the other hand will probably use many regulars for a few reason. First, their Champions League second leg isn't until March 12th. 2nd, Jordi Roura doesn't seem to understand group turning. Because Tito Vilanova was forced in to treatment after having another tumor taken from his throat in December, Barca have only won five times in 11 matches. Throughout that stretch we have seen Roura be overly reliant on particular people resulting in this Barcelona staff looking tired. The sole new damage news for either staff at this stage may be the news that Lionel Messi's status is in doubt for this weekend after he missed training on Wednesday with a temperature.
