The preview of Real Madrid – Barcelona

Real Madrid visits Barcelona on Sunday in a Clásico marred by the so-called ‘Negreira case’, in which the Barça team could take a giant step towards the title.

Xavi Hernández’s men enter the match nine points ahead of Real Madrid, who cannot afford to fail against their main rival for the national crown.

The merengue team, which defends the title, would be twelve points behind the Barcelona fans with twelve days to go if they fell at the Camp Nou.

A difficult hole to overcome against a Barcelona that affirms from the beginning of the season that its main objective is to win the League and that it has won nine of its last ten games in the Spanish championship.

“In case of winning, it would be a blow of authority. We would be twelve points away, it would not be final, but it would be a coup of authority”, coach Xavi Herández assured this Saturday at a press conference.

The second league ‘Clásico’, after which Real Madrid won 3-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu, arrives marred by the great noise produced by the so-called ‘Negreira case’ in which Barça’s payments to a former referee are being investigated .
