Barcelona and Real Madrid exchange the roles of a year ago in the first Classic of the course, which hosts the Camp Nou with the first emergencies azulgranas of the season, six points away, aware that a Madrid victory would deal a blow to LaLiga Santander when it has not yet reached the middle of the championship.
The six points of advantage with which a year ago came to Barcelona to the Santiago Bernabeu, have changed in favor of a Real Madrid who visits the Camp Nou thrown in his morale, with the desire to seize the opportunity to distance his great rival and Extend the streak without losing with Zinedine Zidane in control, 32 games undefeated.
Different moods after the last two draws of Barcelona against Malaga at the Camp Nou (0-0) and Real Sociedad in Anoeta (1-1), who have taken him from his eternal rival and forced him to win the Classic if Want to recover part of the lost ground.
Those of Luis Enrique Martínez have not had a good month of November. The team has been thick in many games, without its usual freshness to press after loss and constantly stalking the area rivals. He has lost power and creativity in a center of the field where he has missed the figure of Andres Iniesta who, after six weeks of low, could return to the starting lineup.
Iniesta, who received medical discharge on Friday, will be the main novelty of a team that could also return Samuel Umtiti, as a pair of Gerard Piqué on the axis of defense. The Frenchman reappeared with good feelings last Wednesday in the King's Cup against Hercules. If it returns to the eleven in Liga, the victimized would be the Argentine Javier Mascherano.
The rest of the team will be the usual, starting with the German goal Marc André ter Stegen who in his third season as Barça will finally live his first Classic, as the previous four had been played by the Chilean Claudio Bravo.
The good news for Luis Enrique is that Jordi Alba, doubt after ending annoyances the meeting of Anoeta, has trained at the same pace as his teammates and may be in the beginning. The Asturian coach only has, therefore, the departure of central Rooster Jeremy Mathieu to receive the team of Zidane
Who will win?
