stories
Barcelona: Sure, Barça crushed the Hungarian team, but let’s not forget their last La Liga game, which was a 1-0 loss to Getafe. Barça looked slow, lacked ideas against a good defensive back and in the end did not threaten enough. They’ll have to clean that up against a Real defense looking to bounce back after that horror show on Wednesday.
Real Madrid: The Whites need a win after a horrible 180 minutes. They started slowly, the defense reacted slowly in key moments and it was not characteristic from the side. They’ve shown attack can get them back into games, but for a team whose defense excelled at the end of last season, it hasn’t been good enough so far. Here’s a chance against Lionel Messi and company to get back on track.
Prediction
Messi wins a late free kick, beats Thibaut Courtois and leads Barça to a great, great victory. Collect: Barcelona 2, Real Madrid 1
